ADHD Support at Grow and Flow — Geebung, QLD

Grow and Flow lists sensory processing and handwriting support among its services, both of which are commonly addressed in occupational therapy for children with attention difficulties. Sensory processing difficulties often co-occur with attention challenges, as children may struggle to filter or respond appropriately to sensory input, affecting their ability to focus and participate in activities. Interventions listed by the clinic in this area may include work with sensory equipment such as weighted blankets or vests, movement-based activities on therapy balls or swings, and environmental modifications to reduce distracting sensory input. Handwriting difficulties can also impact attention and learning, as children may find the motor task so effortful that sustained focus becomes harder. Grow and Flow's handwriting support may involve fine-motor strengthening exercises, pencil grip training, or adapted writing tools to reduce physical strain. Many families access occupational therapy services through NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, which may cover assessment and intervention costs depending on individual plans. It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or attention disorders; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional. However, an OT can work with identified attention difficulties to build skills and strategies that support participation in daily activities.
