Areas of Focus
Understanding Sensory Processing with BAHQLD
Sensory processing refers to the way our nervous system receives and interprets information from our senses. When this process is disrupted, it can lead to challenges in daily functioning. At Balance Allied Health Queensland (BAHQLD), we offer comprehensive support for individuals experiencing sensory processing difficulties in Brisbane.
We use evidence-based practices like the Sensory Profile 2 assessment to understand sensory seeking, sensory avoiding, and sensory sensitivity. From there, we develop individualised sensory diet programs to promote self-regulation, emotional regulation, and adaptive responses.
Our Approach to Sensory Therapy
Our experienced therapists work closely with participants and their families to address specific sensory needs. We focus on improving modulation across all sensory systems, including:
- Assessment: We start with a thorough Sensory Profile 2 assessment to identify specific sensory processing patterns and challenges.
- Individualised Plan: Based on the assessment results, we create a tailored sensory diet and therapy plan.
- Therapy Sessions: We provide individual therapy sessions to implement the sensory diet and teach coping strategies.
- Home and School Support: We offer guidance and support to families and educators to implement sensory strategies in everyday environments.

Common questions
- What is a Sensory Profile 2 assessment?
- The Sensory Profile 2 is a standardised questionnaire that evaluates a child's sensory processing patterns in different environments. It helps us understand how they respond to sensory input and identify areas of difficulty.
- What is a sensory diet?
- A sensory diet is a personalised plan of sensory activities designed to meet an individual's specific sensory needs throughout the day. It helps to regulate sensory input and promote adaptive responses.
- How does sensory processing affect behaviour?
- Difficulties with sensory processing can manifest in various ways, including distractibility, impulsivity, anxiety, meltdowns, and difficulty with social interaction. Understanding the underlying sensory needs can help address these behaviours more effectively.
