Services Child and Family Occupational Therapy - Port Kembla Hospital offers for adhd
Child and Family Occupational Therapy - Port Kembla Hospital supports children with attention difficulties through targeted interventions across three key areas. Sensory processing work helps children who struggle with sensory input regulation—activities like using a sensory swing or weighted lap pad can help calm an overactive nervous system and improve focus during learning tasks. Fine motor development addresses the hand strength and coordination challenges that often accompany attention difficulties, using activities such as threading, scissor work, and manipulation games to build foundational skills. Handwriting support is particularly valuable, as many children with attention difficulties find the physical demands of writing exhausting; Child and Family Occupational Therapy - Port Kembla Hospital uses strategies like pencil grip training, postural adjustments, and letter formation practice to reduce cognitive load during writing tasks. These services work together to remove barriers to attention and participation. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing structures apply where eligible), though funding arrangements vary. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose ADHD or attention disorders, but can identify how sensory, motor, and functional factors may be affecting your child's ability to concentrate and engage.

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.
