ADHD Support at ABC Therapy — Across NSW

Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from occupational therapy support that addresses underlying sensory and motor skill challenges. At ABC Therapy, our occupational therapists work with sensory processing to help children who may be over- or under-responsive to sensory input—difficulties that can significantly impact focus and behaviour. For example, we might use sensory activities like controlled use of therapy balls, weighted lap pads, or movement breaks to help regulate a child's nervous system before learning tasks. Handwriting support is equally important, as fine motor coordination challenges can make written work frustrating and exhausting, further affecting attention. ABC Therapy offers targeted handwriting interventions including pencil grip exercises, hand strength activities, and adaptive strategies that reduce cognitive load during writing tasks. These services work together to remove barriers to concentration and participation. Many families access ABC Therapy's services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing structures), which can cover occupational therapy support for eligible children. Please note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing difficulties—diagnosis comes from medical professionals—but we can identify functional challenges and provide practical strategies to support your child's learning and wellbeing.
