Sensory processing Support at Physio Inq — NSW

Physio Inq lists sensory processing as a service area for children with sensory processing difficulties. Sensory processing support typically involves activities designed to help children regulate their responses to sensory input from their environment, such as touch, sound, movement, and visual stimuli. According to its listing, Physio Inq may use interventions such as sensory motor activities in controlled environments, use of equipment like weighted blankets or vests to provide calming input, and structured play-based activities that gradually expose children to different sensory experiences. Examples of activities might include swinging or rocking activities to support vestibular (balance and movement) processing, fine-motor tasks using different textured materials, or visual scheduling to help children anticipate transitions. Children with sensory processing difficulties often benefit from individualised approaches tailored to their specific sensory preferences and avoidances. Families accessing services through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) may use their funding to support sensory processing therapy, with session costs varying under 2025-26 pricing arrangements. It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; however, Physio Inq's occupational therapy assessment may identify sensory processing patterns and recommend strategies to support participation in daily activities.
