ADHD Support at Kids Matters OT — Highgate Hill, QLD

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 Matters OT in Highgate Hill, our therapists work with these interconnected difficulties to help children build confidence and independence. Sensory processing support might include activities like using a sensory swing or weighted lap pad to help a child regulate their nervous system and improve focus during learning tasks. Fine motor work could involve play-based exercises such as threading, playdough manipulation, or scissor skills practice, which strengthen the hand muscles needed for writing and self-care tasks. Handwriting intervention combines both areas, using strategies like pencil grip assessment, posture correction, and multi-sensory letter formation activities to reduce frustration during writing tasks. Kids Matters OT is NDIS-registered, meaning many families can access these services through their child's NDIS plan funding. Our therapists collaborate with families and schools to ensure strategies are practical and consistent across environments, supporting your child's participation in everyday activities.
