ADHD Support at Centre of Movement — Across QLD

Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with sensory processing, which can affect their ability to focus, regulate emotions, and participate in daily activities. Centre of Movement supports these children through targeted sensory processing interventions designed to help them better understand and respond to sensory information. Sensory activities might include using a sensory swing to improve body awareness and vestibular input, which can enhance concentration and calm an overactive nervous system. Weighted equipment such as weighted vests or lap pads can provide grounding sensory feedback that helps children settle and attend to tasks. Fine-motor and coordination exercises also support the development of skills needed for writing, self-care, and classroom participation. Centre of Movement works collaboratively with families to identify sensory strategies that work best for each child's individual needs. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing difficulties, they can assess how sensory challenges may be impacting your child's function and wellbeing. If your child is NDIS-funded, sensory processing support may be eligible under your plan for the 2025-26 funding year, depending on your child's goals and circumstances. The team at Centre of Movement can discuss funding options and how services align with your child's individualised plan.
