Sensory processing Support at Physio Inq — NSW

Physio Inq lists sensory processing and fine motor services as areas of support for children with sensory processing disorder. According to its listing, sensory processing interventions typically involve structured activities designed to help children regulate their responses to sensory input—such as touch, movement, sound, and visual information. The clinic may use graded sensory experiences, for example working with equipment like therapy swings or weighted blankets to help children become more comfortable with movement and proprioceptive input. Fine motor support often complements sensory work, as children with sensory processing differences sometimes experience coordination or dexterity challenges; Physio Inq's listing indicates this may include activities such as threading, scissor work, or hand-strengthening exercises tailored to individual needs. A third common approach involves environmental modifications and activity-based learning, where an occupational therapist might introduce calming stations or structured play routines to support self-regulation throughout the day. Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; diagnosis typically comes from a paediatrician or developmental specialist. Many families access these services through NDIS funding, with support available under 2025-26 pricing arrangements for eligible participants. Physio Inq is listed as NDIS registered in the directory, though this has not been independently verified.
