ADHD Support at CliniKids — Joondalup, WA

CliniKids lists sensory processing as a service area that may support children experiencing attention difficulties. Sensory processing challenges often co-occur with attention concerns, as children who struggle to filter or organise sensory input may find it harder to focus on tasks or regulate their behaviour. According to its listing, CliniKids may use sensory-based activities to help children develop better awareness of their bodies and environments, which can support sustained attention and task engagement.

Specific interventions that occupational therapists typically employ in this area include sensory motor activities such as work with suspended equipment (for example, sensory swings or trampolines) to improve body awareness and vestibular input, use of weighted tools or clothing to provide grounding sensory feedback during fine-motor or desk-based tasks, and structured sensory breaks integrated into daily routines to help children reset their attention capacity. CliniKids may tailor these approaches based on each child's sensory profile.

It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder; diagnosis remains the role of medical professionals. Families interested in exploring whether sensory-focused intervention might benefit their child are encouraged to discuss referral options with their child's GP or paediatrician. NDIS registration for CliniKids has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot; families seeking NDIS-funded services should verify funding eligibility and provider registration directly with the clinic.
