Services Growing Minds Paediatric Occupational Therapy offers for adhd
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often struggle with handwriting, which can affect their confidence and school performance. Growing Minds Paediatric Occupational Therapy addresses these challenges through tailored handwriting support that considers the underlying motor control, postural stability, and attention factors that may be contributing. Our occupational therapists work with children using strategies such as fine-motor strengthening exercises (like threading, playdough manipulation, and scissor activities), pencil grip assessment and retraining with adaptive grips or sloped writing surfaces, and breaking writing tasks into smaller, manageable steps with visual supports to maintain focus. We also incorporate movement breaks and sensory input before writing sessions to help regulate attention and improve readiness to learn. Growing Minds recognises that each child's needs are unique, and we collaborate with families to develop practical strategies that work at home and school. While occupational therapy cannot diagnose ADHD, our handwriting interventions can significantly improve writing skills and reduce frustration. Families may be eligible for NDIS funding (2025–26) to support these services; we encourage you to discuss funding options during your initial consultation.

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 during writing tasks?
Yes. Growing Minds Paediatric Occupational Therapy uses strategies to improve postural stability, motor control, and attention during writing. We may incorporate movement breaks, sensory input, and structured visual supports to help your child stay engaged. However, occupational therapy cannot diagnose or treat ADHD itself—that's a medical assessment. Our role is to address the functional handwriting and attention-related difficulties that may accompany it.
What if my child has poor pencil grip or finds writing painful?
Our occupational therapists assess grip strength, hand positioning, and any sensory sensitivities. We provide tailored interventions including fine-motor exercises, adaptive pencil grips, sloped writing surfaces, and desensitisation strategies. We also work with you to identify whether fatigue, muscle tone, or attention factors are contributing, and adjust our approach accordingly.
Does Growing Minds accept NDIS funding?
We encourage you to contact Growing Minds Paediatric Occupational Therapy directly to discuss NDIS eligibility and current funding arrangements for 2025–26. Many families access occupational therapy services through NDIS plans, and our team can guide you through the process and help maximise your plan's benefits.
