ADHD Support at Kids Matters OT — Aspley, QLD

Kids Matters OT lists three services that may be relevant for children experiencing attention and focus difficulties: sensory processing, fine motor skills, and handwriting support. Children with attention challenges often benefit from sensory-based activities that help regulate their nervous system and improve focus. According to its listing, the clinic may use approaches such as sensory swing work or weighted equipment to help children feel more grounded and organised, which can support sustained attention during tasks. Fine motor development is also listed as a service area; activities targeting hand strength and coordination—such as threading, scissor work, or manipulation exercises—may help children develop the motor control needed for classroom tasks. Handwriting support is similarly listed, as difficulties with pencil grip, letter formation, or writing speed can compound attention challenges during academic work. Kids Matters OT's listing indicates these services may be tailored to individual needs. For families with NDIS plans, occupational therapy services are typically funded under the Supports for Daily Life or Improved Daily Living category in the 2025-26 scheme. Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or other conditions; assessment and diagnosis remain the role of medical professionals. The clinic's specific approach to each service area can be discussed directly with the clinic.
