What Sense helps with

Occupational Therapy

A therapy that helps children and adults develop the everyday skills needed for daily life — from dressing, writing and play to sensory processing and school participation. Occupational therapists assess what is getting in the way and design practical strategies to build independence and confidence.

Speech Pathology

Assessment and treatment of communication difficulties including speech sounds, language development, stuttering, voice, and feeding and swallowing. Speech pathologists work with children and adults to help them communicate clearly and confidently.

Psychology

Assessment and therapy provided by a registered psychologist to support mental health, emotional wellbeing and behaviour. Psychologists work across the lifespan — helping children, adolescents and adults understand and manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma and learning differences.

Psychometric Assessments

A thorough evaluation by a psychologist using standardised tests, interviews and observation to understand a person's cognitive, emotional and behavioural functioning. Results inform diagnosis and guide recommendations for therapy, school adjustments and support services.

Educational Therapy

Individualised educational support that translates clinical therapy goals into play-based, developmentally appropriate learning experiences.

Group Programs

Therapy delivered to small groups of children or adults with similar goals, allowing participants to practise skills, build connections and learn from shared experiences. Groups are facilitated by a qualified therapist and can cover areas such as social skills, emotional regulation or anxiety management.

Sense at School Programs

Professional learning programs and support for educators in daycares, pre-schools, primary schools, and high schools to create inclusive learning environments.

Sense Team Sports

Sense Rugby and Sense AFL programs designed with paediatric occupational therapists and trained sports players to support emotional regulation, motor coordination, and team skills.

Our approach

At Sense Sports, qualified Occupational Therapists bring therapeutic expertise directly into sporting club environments, working alongside coaches and volunteers on the same grounds where children train. Children start in a safe, supported setting and gradually transition to broader club activities at their own pace, learning to manage the natural emotions and unpredictability that sport brings. Sessions focus on real therapeutic outcomes, with many children showing meaningful gains in emotional regulation, social connection and gross motor skills. Rather than expecting children to adapt to clinical settings first, the program embeds allied health support within the community spaces where children want to belong. Every session is designed as a step toward the child becoming a genuine, long-term member of their club.

Working with families

Families are deeply integrated into the Sense Sports experience, with the sideline at each program becoming a space where parents meet others who truly understand their journey and share in their child's belonging. The platform includes a dedicated family portal with resources, program information and a safe, moderated community forum facilitated by therapists, allowing the connections formed on the sideline to continue growing. Parents and carers gain access to peer support in a natural, organic way — many families who arrive feeling isolated report leaving with a genuine community around them. Regular participation creates a routine and identity for children beyond their diagnosis, and this sense of belonging extends to the adults supporting them. The program acknowledges that meaningful inclusion cannot rest on families alone, but rather builds community and connection for everyone involved.

Meet the team

The team comprises qualified Occupational Therapists who understand both child development and sporting culture, working alongside coaches and volunteers within local clubs. The program was founded by rugby Olympian Jesse Parahi and Occupational Therapist Carlien Parahi, and is now delivered by the Sense Sports Foundation across multiple locations in Australia and New Zealand. Therapists engage in real-time debriefing and shared learning through a purpose-built platform, ensuring consistent, evidence-informed practice across the network. The broader team includes club coaches and volunteers who receive structured professional development and practical strategies to support inclusive participation. Many past participants have gone on to gain employment as coaches and mentors within the programs themselves.
