ADHD Support at Boost Paediatric Occupational Therapy — Upper Mount Gravatt, QLD

Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often experience challenges with fine motor control and handwriting, which can impact their learning and confidence at school. Boost Paediatric Occupational Therapy in Upper Mount Gravatt supports these areas through targeted interventions tailored to each child's needs. Fine motor work helps strengthen hand muscles and coordination—essential for tasks like holding a pencil, using scissors, and managing buttons. Our therapists might use activities such as threading beads, playdough manipulation, or picking up small objects with tweezers to build these skills in engaging ways. Handwriting support addresses letter formation, pencil grip, and writing stamina, often incorporating multi-sensory approaches like tracing letters in sand or using textured writing surfaces to maintain focus and engagement. Boost Paediatric Occupational Therapy recognises that children with attention difficulties may benefit from movement breaks and structured routines during therapy sessions. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD, they work collaboratively with families and other professionals to address the functional difficulties these children experience. Depending on your circumstances, services may be funded through the NDIS (2025-26 funding year) or private arrangements. Our team can discuss what support options might suit your child's situation.
