ADHD Support at Centre of Movement — West Burleigh, QLD

Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with attention, impulse control, and sensory regulation. Centre of Movement supports these challenges through sensory processing services that help children develop better body awareness and self-regulation skills. Sensory activities can improve focus and reduce restlessness by providing appropriate input that helps settle an overactive nervous system or energise an under-responsive one. At Centre of Movement, occupational therapists might use interventions such as weighted blankets or vests during learning activities to enhance focus, sensory swing work to improve vestibular input and coordination, or fidget tools and textured materials to support sustained attention during tasks. These strategies help children manage their sensory needs so they can concentrate better at school and home. If your child has NDIS funding, sensory processing services may be eligible for support under the 2025-26 funding arrangements, depending on your child's plan. Centre of Movement can discuss funding options during your initial consultation. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD; however, they can assess how sensory processing difficulties may be contributing to attention challenges and recommend practical strategies to support your child's everyday functioning.
