Children who have sensory processing difficulties may find it difficult to take in and work with the sensory information in their environment.
Some indicators include:
• Overwhelmed or underwhelmed by noise, movement, touch, visual input, smells or tastes
• Seeking extra sensory stimulation
• Appearing clumsy or uncoordinated
• Having difficulty with daily routines, play or school activities
Children with a diagnosis of Autism spectrum disorder or Asperger’s syndrome are able to access funding through the WA NDIS.
Support for your child with autism may assist in
– Reducing the impact of poor sensory processing
– Diminishing anxiety
– Developing social awareness and social skills
– Increasing fine and gross motor control
FUNdamentals OT can assist children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Attention and concentration are key components to success in school.
Children with a diagnosis of ADHD will benefit from movement-based activities and cognitive strategies to help develop strategies to attend and concentrate in school and at home.
Children with a specific diagnosis in areas of developmental delay or other diagnosed disability are able to access funding through the WA NDIS.
Therapy is also available for children who are developmentally delayed, without a diagnosis; for example, children who are late to start talking, or are presenting with delayed speech sound development (resulting in unclear speech).
For children who have difficulties with feeding: drinking, chewing and swallowing support is offered and practical strategies provided.
Strengthening the oral and written language skills of children with persistent language disorders supports their daily communication as well as their academic achievement.
Programs addressing poor articulation, stuttering, expressive and receptive language development will support your child’s communication at home, school and in the community.
