ADHD Support at Josey Sharpe Occupational Therapy — Across NSW

Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with sensory processing and fine motor skills that can impact their learning and daily functioning. At Josey Sharpe Occupational Therapy, our therapists address these overlapping areas to support your child's development. Sensory processing work helps children regulate their attention and behaviour by providing appropriate sensory input—for example, using weighted blankets during learning tasks, incorporating movement breaks with a therapy ball, or engaging in calming activities like sand play to improve focus. Handwriting support targets the fine motor control and motor planning skills needed for written work, which can be particularly challenging for children with attention difficulties. Interventions might include grip strengthening exercises, pencil control activities, or adapted writing tools to reduce frustration and build confidence. Josey Sharpe Occupational Therapy works with families to understand how NDIS funding (2025-26) may support these services, though registration status should be confirmed directly with the clinic. Our therapists collaborate with your child's school and other professionals to create consistent strategies across home and classroom settings, helping your child develop the foundational skills needed for better engagement and participation.
