ADHD Support at Kids Matters OT — Yeerongpilly, QLD
Kids Matters OT in Yeerongpilly, QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services Kids Matters 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 Matters OT in Yeerongpilly, our therapists work with these specific difficulties through tailored interventions. Sensory processing support helps children regulate their responses to stimulation; for example, we might use weighted blankets, fidget tools, or movement breaks to help a child focus during tasks. Fine motor work strengthens the small muscles needed for control and coordination—activities like threading beads, scissor practice, or building with construction toys develop these skills progressively. Handwriting intervention addresses the motor planning and sustained attention required for writing, using strategies such as pencil grip tools, multi-sensory letter formation, and postural supports. Kids Matters OT is registered with the NDIS, meaning many families can access these services through their funding plans for the 2025–26 financial year and beyond. Our occupational therapists work collaboratively with families and schools to identify which areas will have the most positive impact on your child's daily functioning and confidence.

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's ADHD symptoms?
Occupational therapy doesn't treat ADHD itself—only a medical professional can diagnose ADHD. However, an OT can address the specific challenges many children with ADHD experience, such as difficulty with fine motor tasks, sensory regulation, and handwriting. Kids Matters OT focuses on building skills and strategies that help your child participate more successfully in everyday activities at home and school.
How do I know if my child needs sensory processing support?
Children who seem overly sensitive to sounds, textures, or movement, or conversely seek out intense sensory input, may benefit from sensory processing support. Signs include difficulty concentrating, fidgeting, avoiding certain textures, or struggling with transitions. An occupational therapist at Kids Matters OT can assess your child's sensory responses and recommend strategies tailored to their needs.
Is occupational therapy covered by the NDIS?
Yes, Kids Matters OT is NDIS registered, and occupational therapy is often funded through NDIS plans. Eligibility and funding amounts depend on your child's plan. We recommend checking your current plan details or contacting the NDIS to discuss what supports are available for your child in 2025–26.
