ADHD Support at Anderson — Across WA

Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with attention, impulse control, and sensory regulation. Anderson's occupational therapy clinic supports these challenges through sensory processing interventions tailored to each child's needs. Sensory activities help children develop better body awareness and self-regulation skills, which can improve focus and reduce fidgeting during learning and daily routines. At Anderson, occupational therapists might use sensory strategies such as weighted blankets or compression vests to provide calming input, movement-based activities like jumping on a trampoline or using a sensory swing to help discharge excess energy, and fine-motor tasks combined with sensory breaks to maintain attention during table-top work. These interventions work alongside other strategies to help children manage their sensory needs more effectively. Anderson is registered with the NDIS, meaning families may be able to access funding for these services under the 2025-26 funding arrangements. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose ADHD, but they can assess how sensory processing difficulties may be affecting your child's participation in school, home, and social activities, and recommend practical strategies to support them.
