ADHD Support at Kids Play OT – Holland Park West — Holland Park West, QLD

Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often experience challenges with sensory processing, fine motor control, and handwriting—areas where occupational therapy can make a meaningful difference. At Kids Play OT – Holland Park West, our therapists work with these interconnected areas to support better focus, coordination, and learning. Sensory processing interventions help children regulate their nervous system; for example, we might use weighted blankets or sensory swings to help a child feel calmer and more organised before schoolwork. Fine motor activities—such as threading, playdough manipulation, or scissor work—build the hand strength and coordination needed for writing and classroom tasks. Handwriting support includes postural awareness, pencil grip refinement, and letter formation practice tailored to each child's needs. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 plans), which can cover occupational therapy support when goals align with a child's plan. Kids Play OT – Holland Park West takes a collaborative approach, working with parents and schools to embed strategies into daily routines. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD; however, we can address the functional difficulties that often accompany attention challenges.
