How paediatric OT helps children with adhd in WA
How paediatric OT helps children with ADHD in Western Australia (WA)
In Western Australia, children with ADHD can access occupational therapy (OT) support through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Under the 2025-26 funding arrangements, eligible participants receive individualised budgets to fund allied health services, including OT. Families should verify their child's NDIS plan includes therapy supports and understand their available funding.
Paediatric OT takes a holistic approach to supporting children with ADHD. Occupational therapists work on self-regulation strategies, sensory processing, fine and gross motor skills, and daily living routines. They may use environmental modifications, activity-based interventions, and coaching for parents and educators to help children engage more effectively at home, school, and in the community. OT cannot diagnose ADHD but can address functional difficulties that often co-occur.
In WA, families typically engage OT through NDIS-registered providers or private practitioners. Many clinics offer both clinic-based and school-based sessions. Referrals often come from GPs, paediatricians, or school staff.
When contacting clinics, ask specifically: Do you have experience supporting children with ADHD? Can you work collaboratively with schools? Do you offer parent coaching? What outcome measures do you use? How do you integrate sensory and motor strategies into functional activities? Clarify whether the therapist is NDIS-registered and understands WA's funding framework.
About ADHD and Attention Difficulties
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a developmental difference that affects attention, activity level, and impulse control. In Australia, ADHD is diagnosed by a paediatrician, psychiatrist, or psychologist, often after a family or school notices ongoing differences in attention, behaviour, or self-regulation across multiple settings.

Common questions from Across WA families
How do occupational therapists in WA approach ADHD support?
OTs don't diagnose ADHD, but they work with children who have been diagnosed to improve daily functioning. They might help with time management, organisation systems, sensory strategies to support focus, and breaking tasks into manageable steps. Some use visual supports, movement breaks, or environmental changes. Approaches vary between providers, so ask how they tailor support to your child's strengths and challenges.
What questions should I ask when contacting a clinic about ADHD support?
Ask about their experience working with children with attention difficulties, what strategies they use, how long appointments are, and whether they involve parents in planning. Find out if they work with schools or other professionals, their cancellation policy, and how they measure progress. Also ask about their familiarity with NDIS plans and whether they bulk-bill or accept your funding arrangement.
Can I access NDIS funding for occupational therapy for ADHD in WA?
NDIS eligibility depends on your child's individual circumstances and whether ADHD significantly impacts their functioning. If your child has an NDIS plan, occupational therapy can be included as a support. Contact the NDIA directly or speak with your local area coordinator about eligibility. Many WA providers work with NDIS plans, but confirm this when you contact them.
What signs might suggest my child needs occupational therapy support?
Children might benefit from OT support if they struggle with organisation, time management, transitions between activities, sitting still during tasks, or managing sensory input in busy environments. Some have difficulty with self-care routines or following multi-step instructions. If you're concerned about attention or behaviour, start with your GP or paediatrician for assessment, then discuss occupational therapy options.
What happens during an occupational therapy assessment for attention difficulties?
Assessments typically involve observing your child, asking about their daily routines and challenges, and sometimes using structured tools to understand their strengths. The OT might watch how your child manages tasks, transitions, and sensory environments. They'll discuss your concerns and goals with you. Results help create a personalised plan with strategies for home, school, and everyday situations.

NDIS funding
Using NDIS funding for OT in WA
NDIS funding for paediatric occupational therapy in Western Australia depends on the goals and budgets in a child's plan. Families may be self-managed, plan-managed, or NDIA-managed. Self-managed families usually pay the clinic and claim back through the portal. Plan-managed families ask their plan manager to process invoices. NDIA-managed families generally need providers who are registered for the relevant supports. OT is often connected with capacity building supports, improved daily living, therapy supports, or related plan categories, but every plan is different. Before booking, ask the clinic which plan types they accept, whether travel or reports are billed separately, and what details they need for invoicing. If you are unsure whether a service can be funded, check the plan wording, talk with your support coordinator or plan manager, and confirm directly with the provider before the appointment.
