ADHD Support at Alder Hey Children's Hospital — Luddenham, NSW

Alder Hey Children's Hospital lists ADHD support among its occupational therapy services. According to its directory listing, the clinic addresses attention and self-regulation difficulties through activity-based interventions tailored to individual needs. Occupational therapists typically work with children to build focus, impulse control, and task completion skills using structured, engaging activities. Common approaches may include sensory-based activities such as movement breaks using balance equipment or fidget tools to support concentration during learning tasks. Fine motor and coordination exercises—for example, threading activities, construction play, or handwriting practice—can help develop the sustained attention needed for school-based work. Visual supports and environmental modifications, such as simplified activity schedules or reduced distractions during therapy, are often used to support children who struggle with attention regulation. Alder Hey Children's Hospital may also work with families to identify strategies for home and school settings. Families accessing occupational therapy for ADHD-related difficulties may be eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025-26 scheme if they hold an NDIS plan; however, NDIS registration for Alder Hey Children's Hospital has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents should contact the clinic directly to discuss funding options and service availability.
