ADHD Support at Flourish OT — Across QLD

Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with sensory processing, which can affect their ability to focus, regulate emotions, and participate in daily activities. Flourish OT addresses these challenges through tailored sensory processing interventions designed to help children develop better self-regulation and attention skills. Sensory activities might include using a sensory swing to provide calming vestibular input, working with weighted equipment like lap pads or weighted vests to improve body awareness, or engaging in fine-motor exercises that build concentration and hand-eye coordination. These interventions help children filter out distracting sensory information and respond more appropriately to their environment. At Flourish OT, our occupational therapists work collaboratively with families to identify which sensory strategies work best for each child. If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding, we can discuss how services might be supported under the 2025-26 funding arrangements. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing difficulties—this requires assessment by a medical professional—but we can certainly support children who have received a diagnosis by addressing the functional challenges they experience.
