Services Kids Connect Therapy offers for adhd
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from occupational therapy that addresses underlying sensory and motor challenges. At Kids Connect Therapy in Acacia Ridge, VIC, we support these children through two key service areas. Our sensory processing work helps children who struggle with focus due to sensory sensitivities or under-responsiveness. We might use activities like weighted blanket work during transitions, obstacle course challenges to build body awareness, or fidget tools tailored to each child's needs—all designed to help them regulate and concentrate better. Our handwriting service addresses the fine-motor and attention demands of written tasks, which can be particularly challenging for children with ADHD. We use strategies such as pencil grip training, multi-sensory letter formation activities, and postural support to reduce the cognitive load of writing. Kids Connect Therapy takes a holistic approach, recognising that attention difficulties often involve sensory and motor components. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD, we work collaboratively with your child's medical team to support their functional development. Many families access our services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), though we encourage you to 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 focus better at school?
Yes, occupational therapy can support attention and focus by addressing sensory regulation and fine-motor skills that may be affecting your child's ability to concentrate. At Kids Connect Therapy, we work on strategies like sensory breaks, postural support, and handwriting efficiency to reduce distractions and fatigue during learning tasks. However, we work alongside your child's school and medical team rather than replacing other supports.
Will the occupational therapist diagnose my child with ADHD?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or other neurodevelopmental conditions. However, Kids Connect Therapy can identify how sensory processing and motor skills may be affecting your child's attention and participation. We work collaboratively with your GP, paediatrician, or psychologist who can provide formal diagnosis and support your child's overall care plan.
How do I access Kids Connect Therapy, and what about funding?
You can contact Kids Connect Therapy directly to discuss your child's needs and arrange an initial consultation. Many families use NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements apply), though we also work with families using private payment or other funding schemes. We recommend discussing your specific situation with our team to explore the best options for your family.
