ADHD Support at Kickstart Kids Therapy — Across NSW

Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from occupational therapy support that addresses underlying sensory and motor challenges. At Kickstart Kids Therapy, our occupational therapists work with sensory processing, fine motor skills, and handwriting—three areas that frequently impact children with attention difficulties. Sensory processing interventions help children regulate their responses to environmental stimuli; for example, we might use weighted blankets or cushions during activities to improve focus, or incorporate movement breaks with balance equipment like therapy balls. Fine motor work strengthens hand strength and coordination needed for school tasks, using activities such as threading, playdough manipulation, and scissor skills practice. Handwriting support addresses the motor planning and sustained attention required for written work, often using multi-sensory approaches and adaptive pencil grips. These services can be funded through NDIS support plans for eligible children, helping families access ongoing therapy. While occupational therapy cannot diagnose ADHD, Kickstart Kids Therapy's targeted interventions support the underlying skills that make learning and daily routines more manageable for children experiencing attention difficulties.
