Sensory processing Support at Physio Inq — Runnymede, VIC

Physio Inq lists sensory processing and fine motor services as areas it addresses. For children with sensory processing difficulties, these services typically involve structured activities designed to help the nervous system respond more appropriately to sensory input. Sensory processing work may include activities such as use of sensory swings or weighted equipment to provide calming or organising input, obstacle courses that challenge balance and coordination, or play-based activities involving different textures and sounds. Fine motor intervention often complements sensory work, as children with sensory processing differences frequently experience difficulty with tasks requiring hand control and dexterity. Physio Inq may incorporate fine motor exercises like threading, scissor work, or manipulation of small objects to build strength and control alongside sensory activities. Children with sensory processing concerns may be eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025-26 scheme if they meet access criteria; families should verify their child's eligibility and discuss funding options with the clinic directly. It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder, autism, or ADHD—diagnosis requires assessment by a medical practitioner or psychologist. The clinic's listing indicates it can support children once a diagnosis or concern has been identified by another professional.
