Services Kids Matters OT offers for adhd
Kids Matters OT lists three services that commonly address attention and focus difficulties in children: sensory processing, fine motor skills, and handwriting. Children with attention difficulties often experience sensory regulation challenges that can affect their ability to concentrate and engage in activities. Sensory processing work may include activities such as using sensory swings or weighted equipment to help organise the nervous system, or movement-based activities that support sustained attention. Fine motor skill development is frequently linked to attention, as difficulties with hand strength and coordination can make writing, drawing, and manipulative tasks frustrating and attention-draining. Kids Matters OT may address fine motor concerns through play-based exercises, threading activities, or tool use practice. Handwriting difficulties are common in children with attention concerns, and targeted handwriting intervention often combines posture awareness, pencil grip refinement, and letter formation practice. According to its listing, Kids Matters OT is located in Yeerongpilly, QLD. Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or attention disorders—diagnosis requires medical assessment. However, OT support can address functional difficulties that co-occur with attention challenges. For families with NDIS plans, Kids Matters OT lists itself as NDIS registered, which may enable access to funding for eligible participants under the 2025-26 pricing arrangements, though independent verification of registration status is not available through this directory.

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 diagnose ADHD or attention difficulties?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or attention disorders—these diagnoses require assessment by a medical doctor or psychologist. However, an OT can assess and support functional difficulties such as sensory regulation, fine motor control, and handwriting that often co-occur with attention challenges. Kids Matters OT works within this scope.
How does Kids Matters OT know if my child needs sensory processing support?
An occupational therapist conducts an initial assessment, observing how your child responds to sensory input and engages in everyday activities. They may ask about your child's reactions to sounds, textures, movement, and concentration patterns. This helps identify whether sensory regulation difficulties are affecting attention and daily functioning, though an OT cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder.
If my child has an NDIS plan, can Kids Matters OT help access funding?
Kids Matters OT lists itself as NDIS registered, which may mean eligible NDIS participants can potentially access funding for services under 2025-26 pricing arrangements. However, registration status has not been independently verified through this directory. Contact the clinic directly to confirm current registration and discuss your specific plan eligibility.
