Sensory processing Support at LEAP Centre — Sydney, NSW

LEAP Centre lists sensory processing and fine motor support as overlapping services for children with sensory processing disorder. According to its listing, sensory processing work typically involves helping children regulate their responses to sounds, textures, movement, and visual input through structured activities and environmental modifications. Fine motor services address the coordination and strength needed for tasks like writing, fastening buttons, and using utensils, which can be affected when sensory systems are not processing information effectively.

The clinic's sensory processing listing suggests interventions might include activities such as work with weighted equipment (vests or lap pads), use of sensory swings or movement-based activities to help with body awareness, and graded exposure to different textures during play-based sessions. Fine motor work at LEAP Centre may incorporate sensory elements, such as threading activities with varied fabric textures or manipulation tasks using different material densities. Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional.
