Services Capability Support Services offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with attention, impulse control, and sensory regulation. Capability Support Services recognises that sensory processing challenges frequently co-occur with attention difficulties, and our occupational therapists work to address these underlying factors. Sensory processing support helps children develop better body awareness and self-regulation, which can improve focus and reduce fidgeting during learning tasks. At Capability Support Services, we use evidence-based interventions tailored to each child's needs. Examples include proprioceptive activities such as weighted lap pads or resistance exercises to help ground attention; vestibular input through controlled movement activities like therapy ball work to improve focus; and environmental modifications like reducing visual clutter or using noise-reducing headphones to support concentration. We also help families establish sensory-rich routines that support calm, focused states throughout the day. Many families access our services through NDIS funding (2025-26 rates), though we work with various funding arrangements. While occupational therapy cannot diagnose ADHD, our sensory processing support complements medical and educational approaches, helping children develop the self-regulation skills needed to engage more effectively at home and school.

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 diagnose ADHD?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD—this requires assessment by a medical professional or psychologist. However, Capability Support Services can identify sensory processing difficulties that often accompany attention challenges and provide targeted support to improve regulation and focus. We work collaboratively with your child's other healthcare providers.
How does sensory processing support help my child focus better?
Many children with attention difficulties struggle to filter sensory input or regulate their nervous system. Sensory activities—like weighted equipment, movement breaks, or controlled vestibular input—help calm the nervous system and improve body awareness. This foundation makes it easier for children to sustain attention during tasks and reduce impulsive behaviours.
Can I access Capability Support Services through NDIS funding?
Many families use NDIS funding to access our services. We work with various funding arrangements depending on your circumstances. We recommend contacting Capability Support Services directly to discuss your funding options and how we can support your child's sensory and attention needs.
