Services Horizon Allied Health Occupational Therapy offers for adhd
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from targeted occupational therapy support. At Horizon Allied Health Occupational Therapy in Across, we address two key areas that frequently impact these children: sensory processing and handwriting skills.
Sensory processing difficulties can make it harder for children to filter distractions and regulate their attention. Our sensory interventions might include activities like using a sensory swing to provide calming input, working with weighted equipment to improve body awareness, or incorporating movement breaks into daily routines. These help children develop better self-regulation and focus.
Handwriting challenges often co-occur with attention difficulties, as fine-motor coordination requires sustained concentration. Horizon Allied Health Occupational Therapy uses targeted fine-motor exercises, pencil grip strategies, and adaptive writing tools to build confidence and reduce frustration during schoolwork.
While occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD, we can identify underlying sensory or motor factors that may be contributing to attention difficulties and work collaboratively with your child's medical team. Depending on your circumstances, services may be funded through NDIS arrangements for the 2025-26 financial year. We recommend discussing funding eligibility 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's ADHD?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD, but we can address underlying sensory processing and motor skill challenges that often accompany attention difficulties. At Horizon Allied Health Occupational Therapy, we work with your child's existing medical support to improve focus, self-regulation, and daily functioning through targeted strategies and activities tailored to their needs.
How does sensory therapy help with attention?
Many children with attention difficulties struggle to filter sensory input, making concentration harder. Sensory activities—like movement work, weighted tools, or calming input—help children regulate their nervous system and improve their ability to focus. This creates a foundation for better attention in learning and play.
Will NDIS funding cover these services?
Funding eligibility depends on your child's individual circumstances and NDIS plan. Horizon Allied Health Occupational Therapy can discuss potential funding arrangements for 2025-26 during your consultation. We recommend contacting us early to explore what support may be available for your family.
