Services Kids First offers for sensory processing
Kids First lists sensory processing as a service area for children experiencing difficulties with how their nervous system processes sensory information from the environment. Sensory processing difficulties can affect how children respond to touch, sound, movement, and visual input, potentially impacting their participation in daily activities, learning, and social interactions.
According to its listing, Kids First's sensory processing service typically involves structured activities designed to help children develop better regulation and tolerance of sensory experiences. Examples of interventions commonly used in occupational therapy for sensory processing include work with sensory equipment such as swings or weighted blankets to support calming and body awareness, fine-motor activities using textured materials or play dough to build tolerance and skill, and environmental modifications like visual schedules or reduced lighting to support predictability and comfort.
Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional. If a child has an NDIS plan, funding may be available for therapy services depending on the plan's goals and budget allocation. The 2025-26 NDIS pricing arrangements outline session costs for allied health services. Parents considering Kids First should verify current NDIS registration status directly with the clinic, as this has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot.

Common questions
Can an occupational therapist diagnose sensory processing disorder?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder or other conditions like autism or ADHD. However, they can assess how a child responds to sensory input and work with the child to build coping strategies and skills. A medical professional such as a paediatrician or psychologist is needed for formal diagnosis. Kids First can provide assessment and support once a diagnosis has been made.
Does Kids First accept NDIS funding?
NDIS registration for Kids First has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents should contact the clinic directly to ask about NDIS eligibility, current registration status, and whether they accept NDIS plans. If the clinic is registered, session costs would align with 2025-26 NDIS pricing arrangements for allied health services.
What kinds of activities might my child do in sensory processing sessions?
According to Kids First's listing, sensory processing sessions may include activities such as using swings or movement equipment, working with textured materials, weighted tools, or play-based activities designed to help children become more comfortable with different sensory experiences. The specific activities depend on the child's individual needs and responses. Parents should discuss their child's particular sensory concerns with the clinic during initial consultation.
