Services Community Health Occupational Therapy service offers for adhd
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from targeted occupational therapy support. Community Health Occupational Therapy service offers two key areas that can help: sensory processing and handwriting skills. Sensory processing work addresses how children's bodies respond to stimulation, which can significantly impact focus and self-regulation. Interventions might include using a sensory swing to help organise the nervous system, working with weighted equipment during tabletop activities, or creating calming sensory stations at home. Handwriting support helps reduce the physical and cognitive load of writing tasks, freeing up mental resources for attention and learning. Community Health Occupational Therapy service can work with children on pencil grip, letter formation, and strategies to make writing less frustrating. These services may be funded through NDIS support plans (2025-26 funding year) if your child is registered, or through private fees. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose ADHD, but can identify how sensory and motor factors might be affecting your child's participation and attention at school and home, and work collaboratively with your child's medical team.

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 can address factors that affect focus, such as sensory sensitivities or fine-motor difficulties with writing. By reducing these barriers, children often find it easier to concentrate. However, an OT cannot diagnose or treat ADHD itself. Community Health Occupational Therapy service works alongside your child's doctor and school to support participation and learning.
Will NDIS funding cover my child's therapy?
NDIS funding may cover occupational therapy if your child is registered with the NDIS and therapy is listed in their support plan. Community Health Occupational Therapy service can discuss funding options with you, including private fees and NDIS arrangements for the 2025-26 funding year. We recommend checking your plan details or contacting the NDIS directly.
How long does it take to see improvements?
Progress varies depending on your child's needs and how consistently strategies are used at home and school. Some children notice changes in weeks, whilst others benefit from longer-term support. Community Health Occupational Therapy service will discuss realistic goals and timeframes during your initial appointment and review progress regularly with you.
