ADHD Support at Kids Can! OT — Across QLD
Kids Can! OT in Across QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services Kids Can! OT offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often experience challenges with sensory processing, fine motor control, and handwriting—areas where occupational therapy can make a meaningful difference. At Kids Can! OT, our therapists work with children to improve their ability to filter and respond to sensory information, which helps with focus and self-regulation. For example, we might use sensory activities like weighted lap pads or movement breaks on a therapy ball to help calm an overactive nervous system, or structured fine motor exercises using tweezers, threading, and scissor work to build the hand strength needed for writing. Handwriting support is particularly important, as many children with attention difficulties struggle with pencil grip and letter formation, which can frustrate learning. Kids Can! OT tailors these interventions to each child's needs, helping them develop the foundational skills that support classroom attention and participation. If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding in 2025-26, our team can discuss how occupational therapy services might be covered under your plan. Please note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD; however, we can assess and support the underlying skill areas that affect your child's daily functioning.

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 focus better in class?
While occupational therapy doesn't treat ADHD itself, it can strengthen the underlying skills that support attention and learning. By improving sensory processing, fine motor control, and handwriting fluency, children often experience fewer frustrations and distractions during schoolwork. Kids Can! OT works with your child's specific challenges to build confidence and independence in the classroom.
How do I know if my child needs occupational therapy for ADHD-related difficulties?
If your child struggles with handwriting, fidgeting, organisation, or fine motor tasks, an occupational therapy assessment can help identify which areas need support. Kids Can! OT can evaluate your child and discuss whether therapy would be beneficial. An OT assessment is not a diagnosis but helps clarify what skills to target.
Will NDIS funding cover occupational therapy at Kids Can! OT?
If your child has an approved NDIS plan, occupational therapy may be covered depending on your plan goals and funding allocation for 2025-26. We recommend discussing your child's plan with Kids Can! OT to explore funding options and how therapy services can be incorporated into your support package.
