Services Adelaide Paediatrics offers for adhd
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from targeted occupational therapy support. Adelaide Paediatrics offers two key services that can help: sensory processing work and fine motor development. Sensory processing interventions help children regulate their nervous system and improve focus—for example, using a sensory swing or weighted lap pad during learning activities can help settle restlessness and increase concentration. Fine motor therapy addresses coordination and control, which supports handwriting, classroom tasks, and self-care skills that may be affected by attention difficulties. Activities might include threading, scissor work, or pencil grip exercises tailored to each child's needs. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD, they work alongside your child's medical team to address the functional challenges that often accompany attention difficulties. Adelaide Paediatrics can discuss how services may be funded through the NDIS (2025–26 pricing arrangements apply where eligible) or private payment options, helping families access the support their child needs to succeed at home, school, and in the community.

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 occupational therapy help my child's ADHD symptoms?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose or treat ADHD itself, but they can help with the functional challenges that often come with it—such as difficulty concentrating, fidgeting, or struggling with fine motor tasks. Adelaide Paediatrics uses sensory and motor strategies to support regulation and skill development, working as part of your child's broader support team.
How does sensory processing work help with attention?
Many children with attention difficulties have sensory regulation challenges. Sensory activities—like using weighted equipment or movement breaks—help calm an overactive nervous system or alert an under-responsive one, making it easier for your child to focus and engage. Adelaide Paediatrics tailors these strategies to your child's individual sensory needs.
Is Adelaide Paediatrics registered with the NDIS?
NDIS registration status should be confirmed directly with Adelaide Paediatrics. If your child has an NDIS plan, the clinic can discuss whether services are eligible and how funding arrangements work for the 2025–26 period. They can also advise on private payment options.
