ADHD Support at Happy Dots — Across NSW

Children with ADHD often experience challenges with sensory regulation and fine motor control, which can impact their ability to focus, sit still, and complete tasks. At Happy Dots, our occupational therapists address these underlying difficulties through targeted interventions. Sensory processing support helps children develop better body awareness and self-regulation—for example, we might use weighted lap pads or sensory bins filled with different textures to help a child settle before schoolwork, or incorporate movement breaks using therapy balls to support sustained attention. Handwriting intervention focuses on the motor skills and postural control needed for writing tasks, which can be particularly frustrating for children with attention difficulties. Happy Dots uses strategies such as pencil grip exercises, fine-motor games, and adaptive writing tools to build confidence and reduce the physical effort required to write. Both services work together to remove barriers to learning and participation. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing structures), though Happy Dots can discuss funding options during your initial consultation. Our goal is to equip children with practical strategies they can use at home, school, and in the community.
