ADHD Support at Community Therapy — Across NSW
Community Therapy in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services Community Therapy offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with attention regulation and sensory processing, which can impact their ability to focus, participate in daily activities, and manage their behaviour. Community Therapy supports children with attention difficulties through targeted sensory processing interventions designed to help regulate their nervous system and improve focus. Sensory activities such as weighted blanket work and deep pressure activities help calm an overactive nervous system, making it easier for children to concentrate during learning or play. Community Therapy also incorporates movement-based interventions like trampoline work and balance activities, which provide proprioceptive input that enhances body awareness and self-regulation. Additionally, fine-motor activities using textured materials and manipulative tasks help develop the sustained attention needed for school-based work. These interventions work alongside strategies to create structured, predictable environments that support attention and reduce overwhelm. Community Therapy is NDIS-registered, meaning families may access funding through the 2025-26 NDIS pricing arrangements to support these services. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing difficulties; however, they can assess how sensory factors may be affecting your child's attention and participation, and recommend practical strategies to support their needs.

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 Community Therapy diagnose ADHD or attention difficulties?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or attention difficulties—this requires assessment by a medical professional or psychologist. However, Community Therapy can assess how sensory processing and environmental factors may be affecting your child's attention and ability to participate in daily activities, and recommend strategies to support them.
How does sensory processing work help with attention?
When a child's sensory system is dysregulated, it's harder for them to focus. Sensory activities like weighted equipment, movement breaks, and tactile input help calm or alert the nervous system as needed, making it easier for children to concentrate. Community Therapy tailors these activities to your child's individual sensory needs.
Can I access Community Therapy through NDIS funding?
Yes. Community Therapy is NDIS-registered, so if your child has an NDIS plan that includes occupational therapy supports, you may be able to use your funding for services. Speak with Community Therapy about your plan and how to arrange sessions under the 2025-26 NDIS pricing arrangements.
