ADHD Support at Chatterbox Speech — Bella Vista, NSW

Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from targeted support in sensory processing and fine motor skills, both areas where occupational therapy can make a meaningful difference. At Chatterbox Speech in Bella Vista, our occupational therapists work with children to help regulate their sensory systems and build the motor control needed for focus and learning. Sensory processing support might include activities like using weighted blankets or lap pads to provide calming input, or movement breaks on a therapy ball to help children reset their attention before learning tasks. Fine motor interventions—such as threading activities, scissor work, or pencil grip exercises—help children develop the hand strength and coordination that supports writing, self-care, and classroom participation. These services can be funded through NDIS support plans where eligible, helping families access the therapy their child needs. While occupational therapy cannot diagnose ADHD or other conditions, it addresses the underlying sensory and motor challenges that often accompany attention difficulties, supporting your child's everyday functioning at home, school, and in the community.
