ADHD Support at Child Sense — Across NSW
Child Sense in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services Child Sense offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often experience challenges with sensory processing, which can affect their ability to concentrate, regulate emotions, and participate in daily activities. Child Sense offers sensory processing support that addresses these underlying difficulties. Through tailored interventions, occupational therapists help children develop better awareness of their sensory needs and improve their capacity to focus. Specific strategies might include using weighted equipment during learning tasks to enhance body awareness and calm the nervous system, incorporating movement breaks with sensory tools like therapy balls or resistance activities to support self-regulation, and creating structured sensory routines that help children transition between activities more smoothly. Child Sense also works with families to identify sensory triggers in home and school environments, suggesting practical modifications that reduce distractions and support attention. While occupational therapy cannot diagnose ADHD, sensory processing support can meaningfully complement other interventions. Families accessing NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing) may be able to direct their plan towards these services, though registration status should be confirmed when enquiring.

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 an occupational therapist diagnose ADHD?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD—this requires assessment by a medical professional or psychologist. However, Child Sense can identify sensory processing difficulties that often co-occur with attention challenges and provide targeted support to help your child manage these underlying issues and improve focus.
How does sensory processing support help with attention difficulties?
Many children with attention difficulties struggle to filter sensory information or regulate their nervous system. Child Sense uses sensory strategies—like weighted tools, movement breaks, and environmental adjustments—to help children feel calmer and more organised, making it easier for them to concentrate on tasks at home and school.
Can we use NDIS funding for services at Child Sense?
NDIS funding may be available for occupational therapy services depending on your child's plan and the clinic's registration status. We recommend contacting Child Sense directly to confirm their current NDIS registration and discuss how your 2025-26 plan might support sensory processing interventions.
