ADHD Support at Acacia Therapy — Across QLD

Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often experience challenges with sensory processing and fine motor coordination, which can impact their ability to focus, organise tasks, and engage in learning. At Acacia Therapy, our occupational therapists address these underlying areas to support better attention and self-regulation. Through sensory processing work, we help children develop awareness of their body in space and manage sensory input—for example, using weighted equipment during tabletop activities or incorporating movement breaks with a sensory swing to help reset focus before learning tasks. Fine motor interventions target hand strength and coordination, such as practising pencil grip during writing activities or using threading and manipulation tasks that build the precision needed for schoolwork. These services work together to reduce barriers to attention and participation. Acacia Therapy is registered with the NDIS, meaning families may be able to access funding for occupational therapy support under the 2025-26 scheme. Our therapists work collaboratively with families and schools to identify practical strategies that support your child's engagement and success in everyday activities.
