Early intervention Support at Tashacare — VIC

Tashacare lists fine motor and sensory processing support as services offered to children with early childhood development needs. Fine motor skills—such as grasping, hand strength, and coordination—are foundational for everyday tasks like self-feeding, dressing, and later writing. According to its listing, Tashacare may address these through activities such as threading beads, using tweezers to pick up small objects, or practising scissor control during craft activities. Sensory processing support, also listed by the clinic, relates to how children's bodies interpret sensory information from their environment. Tashacare's approach may include activities like using sensory swings, playing with textured materials, or engaging in weighted equipment work to help children develop better awareness and regulation. Early intervention during the preschool years can support children's participation in everyday routines and peer play. Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions such as autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires medical professionals. If a child is eligible for NDIS funding, services from registered providers may be covered under early intervention supports for the 2025-26 financial year. However, Tashacare's NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot, so parents should verify this directly with the clinic before assuming funding eligibility.
