ADHD Support at Josey Sharpe Occupational Therapy — Penrith, NSW

Josey Sharpe Occupational Therapy lists sensory processing and handwriting support among its services, both of which are commonly addressed in occupational therapy for children with attention difficulties. Sensory processing support typically involves activities designed to help children regulate their responses to sensory input—such as movement, touch, and sound—which can affect focus and behaviour. Examples might include structured sensory activities using equipment like therapy balls or weighted items, or movement breaks integrated into daily routines to help a child settle and concentrate. Handwriting difficulties often co-occur with attention challenges, as fine motor control and sustained focus are interconnected; Josey Sharpe Occupational Therapy may address this through fine motor exercises, pencil grip strategies, or adapted writing tasks tailored to a child's developmental level. It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder; however, they can support children identified with attention difficulties by addressing underlying motor and sensory factors that may affect learning and participation. Families interested in funding through the NDIS should note that NDIS registration for this clinic has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot, so enquiry about funding eligibility and service agreements is recommended prior to engagement.
