Nature Sense OT
Paediatric Occupational Therapy
Sensory Gym to Nature's Wonders: Let us support your family's journey.
At Nature Sense OT, we welcome children of all abilities, helping them thrive in their daily activities at home and school. We support their holistic development – sensory, physical, emotional, and cognitive – through play in our sensory gym and by partnering with nature as a co-therapist. We also aim to bridge the gap for neurodiverse families, equipping them to independently integrate nature's benefits into their daily lives to support their child's well-being.
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Dharawal Country, the land on which we stand. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and those emerging. We recognise their continuing connection to their lands, waters and communities.
Our Services
Sensory Integration, Play-Based and Nature-Based Occupational Therapy
Nature Sense OT is located in the heart of Wollongong, serving the Illawarra Region.
Our approach is grounded in sensory integration, which means we help kids understand and respond to the world around them by engaging their senses—touch, sight, sound, movement, and more.
What makes us different?
At Nature Sense OT, we understand that every child is unique. We recognise that sensory processing plays a crucial role in a child's development, influencing everything from motor skills and coordination to emotional regulation and social interaction. That's why we've created a holistic approach that blends the best of both worlds:
Custom-designed Sensory Gym
Our sensory gym is a haven for exploration and discovery! Equipped with a wide range of specialised equipment, it provides a safe and stimulating environment for children to engage their senses, develop essential skills, and build confidence. Think swings, climbing walls, tactile experiences, and much more – all designed to support sensory integration and promote development.
Nature's Playground
We believe that nature is the ultimate therapist. We incorporate nature-based activities into our programs, harnessing the power of the outdoors to enhance sensory experiences and foster a deeper connection with the environment. From exploring textures in the garden to engaging in playful movement in the park, we help children discover the wonders of the natural world and its therapeutic benefits.
