ADHD Support at Fields Occupational Therapy — Across QLD

Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with sensory processing, which can impact their ability to focus, regulate emotions, and engage in daily activities. Fields Occupational Therapy in Across supports children by addressing these sensory challenges through targeted interventions. Sensory processing work helps children develop better body awareness and self-regulation skills, which can improve attention and reduce fidgeting during learning tasks. At Fields Occupational Therapy, practitioners may use strategies such as heavy work activities (like pushing weighted equipment or carrying objects) to provide calming input, movement breaks using balance tools or trampolines to help children reset their attention, and structured sensory circuits that combine different activities to support focus. These interventions are designed to help children's nervous systems process information more effectively, making it easier for them to concentrate and participate in school and home routines. If your child has an NDIS plan, sensory processing support may be eligible for funding under the 2025-26 scheme, depending on your child's goals and plan allocation. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD; however, they can work collaboratively with your child's medical team to support their development and functional skills.
