Sensory processing Support at Kids That Go — Mango Hill, QLD

Kids That Go lists sensory processing as a service area for paediatric occupational therapy. Sensory processing difficulties can affect how children respond to sounds, textures, movement, and other sensory input, potentially impacting their ability to concentrate, participate in daily activities, and engage socially. According to its listing, the clinic addresses these challenges through occupational therapy approaches tailored to individual needs.

Occupational therapists typically use sensory processing work to help children develop better tolerance and regulation of sensory experiences. Common activities might include use of weighted equipment such as weighted vests or lap pads to provide calming input, movement-based activities like swinging or trampolining to support vestibular and proprioceptive development, and structured exposure to different textures during play-based therapy. Kids That Go may also incorporate fine-motor and coordination exercises that build confidence alongside sensory tolerance.

It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional. Families accessing Kids That Go's services may be eligible for funding through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) if their child has an approved plan, though NDIS registration for this clinic has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents are encouraged to contact the clinic directly to discuss funding options and service availability.
