ADHD Support at Active Eight (A8) — Toowong, QLD
Active Eight (A8) in Toowong, QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services Active Eight (A8) offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often experience challenges with sensory processing, fine motor control, and attention regulation—areas where occupational therapy can make a meaningful difference. At Active Eight (A8) in Toowong, our occupational therapists work with these specific difficulties through tailored interventions. Sensory processing support helps children develop better body awareness and self-regulation; for example, we might use weighted equipment or sensory swing activities to help calm an overactive nervous system or increase alertness when a child is under-responsive. Fine motor work addresses the coordination challenges that can affect writing and daily tasks, using activities like threading, scissor practice, and hand-strengthening exercises. Handwriting intervention is particularly important, as many children with attention difficulties struggle with pencil control and written output—Active Eight (A8) uses multi-sensory approaches and adaptive strategies to build confidence and skill. If your child has an NDIS plan, occupational therapy services may be funded under your supports, and our clinic is registered to work within the 2025-26 funding arrangements. We'll work collaboratively with you and your child's school to support their learning and independence.

About adhd
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
Can an occupational therapist diagnose ADHD or attention difficulties?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or other neurodevelopmental conditions—that requires assessment by a paediatrician or psychologist. However, our OTs can identify functional difficulties with attention, sensory processing, and motor skills, and provide targeted support to help your child manage these challenges in everyday activities like school and self-care.
How does Active Eight (A8) work with NDIS funding?
Active Eight (A8) is NDIS-registered, meaning we can directly bill your NDIS plan for occupational therapy services. We'll work with you to understand your plan's allocations and ensure therapy supports your child's goals. Contact us to discuss how your funding can be used.
What should I expect in the first session?
Your first session includes a detailed conversation about your child's strengths, challenges, and what matters most to your family. We'll observe how your child engages in activities and discuss their sensory preferences, fine motor skills, and attention patterns. This helps us create a personalised therapy plan tailored to your child's needs.
