Kids Play in Across QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services Kids Play offers for adhd
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from targeted occupational therapy support. At Kids Play, our occupational therapists address two key areas that commonly affect focus and learning: sensory processing and handwriting skills.
Sensory processing difficulties can make it hard for children to filter distractions and regulate their attention. Kids Play uses sensory-based interventions such as weighted blankets during learning tasks, movement breaks on a therapy ball, and structured sensory circuits (combining jumping, crawling, and balancing activities) to help children feel more organised and ready to concentrate. Handwriting challenges can also drain attention and confidence—Kids Play incorporates fine-motor strengthening exercises, pencil grip training, and multi-sensory writing activities (like writing in sand or textured materials) to build automaticity, so less mental energy goes into letter formation.
These services can be funded through NDIS support plans (2025–26 pricing arrangements), depending on your child's eligibility and goals. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or attention disorders, we work alongside your child's medical team to support the functional skills that make learning and daily routines easier. Kids Play tailors each approach to your child's sensory profile and learning style.

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 an occupational therapist diagnose ADHD or attention difficulties?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or other attention disorders—that requires assessment by a paediatrician or psychologist. However, Kids Play's occupational therapists work with your child's existing diagnosis to address the functional challenges that often come with attention difficulties, such as sensory regulation and handwriting skills.
How does sensory work help my child focus better?
Many children with attention difficulties struggle to filter sensory input or regulate their arousal level. Sensory activities—like movement breaks, weighted equipment, or organised sensory circuits—help calm an over-stimulated nervous system or energise an under-responsive one, making it easier for your child to settle and concentrate on tasks.
Can Kids Play's services be funded through NDIS?
Kids Play may support NDIS-funded therapy, depending on your child's plan and goals. We recommend checking your current plan details and contacting us to discuss how occupational therapy for sensory processing and handwriting might align with your child's support needs and 2025–26 funding arrangements.
