Services cohealth Occupational Therapy offers for adhd
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from targeted occupational therapy support. At cohealth Occupational Therapy in Across, we address two key areas that frequently impact focus and self-regulation: sensory processing and fine motor skills. Our sensory processing work helps children who struggle with attention due to sensory sensitivities or under-responsiveness. We might use activities like weighted blanket work during transitions, sensory bins with different textures to build tolerance, or movement breaks on a therapy ball to help reset their nervous system. Fine motor interventions support the physical coordination needed for writing, drawing and classroom tasks—often areas where children with attention difficulties experience frustration. Examples include threading activities, scissor work, and pencil grip exercises that build confidence and reduce task avoidance. cohealth Occupational Therapy can work with families to explore NDIS funding options for 2025-26, where eligible, to support ongoing therapy. We always recommend discussing any ADHD concerns with your child's GP or paediatrician, as occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or other conditions. Our role is to support the functional skills and sensory needs that affect your child's daily participation.

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 occupational therapy help my child focus better at school?
Occupational therapy addresses underlying sensory and motor skills that can affect attention and classroom participation. At cohealth Occupational Therapy, we work on self-regulation strategies, fine motor control for writing tasks, and sensory processing to help reduce distractions. However, an OT cannot diagnose or treat ADHD itself—that's a medical role. We support the functional skills that make learning easier.
How do you know if my child needs occupational therapy for attention difficulties?
We begin with a detailed assessment of your child's sensory processing, fine motor skills, and how these affect daily activities like writing, self-care, and play. We'll discuss your concerns and observations. If occupational therapy is appropriate, we'll explain how it fits with any other support your child receives. We recommend a GP or paediatrician assessment if ADHD hasn't been explored yet.
Does cohealth Occupational Therapy accept NDIS funding?
We're exploring NDIS registration to support families accessing funding for 2025-26. We recommend contacting us directly to discuss current arrangements and what funding options may be available for your child. We can also help you understand how occupational therapy fits into your child's support plan.
