Services Inner West Paediatrics offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with attention regulation and impulse control, which can significantly impact learning and daily functioning. Inner West Paediatrics addresses these challenges through targeted occupational therapy services that work alongside medical and educational support. Sensory processing work helps children develop better body awareness and self-regulation—for example, using weighted blankets or pressure activities during sessions to calm the nervous system, or engaging in controlled movement activities like obstacle courses that require focus and planning. Fine motor interventions support the hand-eye coordination and pencil control needed for sustained attention during schoolwork, such as threading activities, scissor work, and handwriting exercises that build confidence and reduce frustration. Inner West Paediatrics also incorporates visual supports and structured routines into therapy, helping children organise their thinking and follow multi-step instructions more easily. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD, they can identify sensory and motor factors that may be contributing to attention difficulties and work collaboratively with your child's medical team. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing structures apply), and the clinic can 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's ADHD symptoms?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose or treat ADHD itself, but they can address underlying sensory and motor difficulties that often co-occur with attention challenges. Inner West Paediatrics works with your child's GP, paediatrician, and school to support regulation, focus, and daily functioning through tailored activities and environmental adjustments.
How does sensory processing therapy help with attention?
Many children with attention difficulties have sensory sensitivities that distract them or make it hard to settle. Sensory activities—like controlled movement, weighted equipment, or fidget tools—help regulate the nervous system, making it easier for children to concentrate on tasks and respond appropriately to their environment.
Does Inner West Paediatrics accept NDIS funding?
NDIS registration status has not been confirmed. We recommend contacting Inner West Paediatrics directly to discuss current funding options, payment arrangements, and whether your child's NDIS plan can be used for services. The clinic can guide you through available pathways.
