ADHD Support at Hunter Children's Clinics — Across NSW

Children with ADHD often experience challenges with sensory processing, fine motor control, and attention regulation—areas where occupational therapy can provide meaningful support. At Hunter Children's Clinics, our occupational therapists work with children to develop strategies that help them manage their attention and engagement in daily activities. Sensory processing work might include activities like using a sensory swing or weighted lap pad to help calm and focus the nervous system before learning tasks. Fine motor interventions could involve structured hand strength exercises or pencil grip training, which support the sustained concentration needed for schoolwork. Handwriting practice combined with multisensory approaches—such as tracing letters in sand or using textured writing tools—can make writing tasks feel less overwhelming and help children stay engaged for longer. Hunter Children's Clinics tailors each child's programme to their individual needs. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing structures apply where eligible), though we encourage you to discuss funding options directly with our team. Our therapists work collaboratively with families and schools to ensure strategies generalise across home and classroom environments.
