Early intervention Support at Katie Stokes Occupational Therapy — VIC

Katie Stokes Occupational Therapy lists sensory processing support as a service that may assist children with early childhood development. Sensory processing refers to how the nervous system receives, organises, and responds to sensory information from the environment—such as touch, sound, movement, and visual input. During early childhood, developing strong sensory foundations can support a child's ability to engage with play, learning, and daily routines.

According to its listing, the clinic addresses sensory processing through activities tailored to individual children's needs. Examples of interventions commonly used in this area include work with sensory equipment such as swings or weighted items to help children regulate their responses to movement and touch, structured play activities that expose children to varied textures and sounds in a controlled way, and movement-based exercises that build body awareness and coordination. Katie Stokes Occupational Therapy may work with families to identify sensory triggers and develop strategies for home and community settings.

Families accessing early intervention services may be eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, depending on their child's eligibility and plan. However, NDIS registration has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot for Katie Stokes Occupational Therapy, so families should verify the clinic's registration status directly if NDIS funding is relevant to their circumstances.
