ADHD Support at Kids Play OT – Springfield Lakes — Springfield Lakes, QLD

Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from occupational therapy that addresses underlying sensory, motor, and coordination challenges. Kids Play OT – Springfield Lakes offers three key services that support these needs. Sensory processing work helps children regulate their nervous system and improve focus—activities like using a sensory swing, weighted blankets, or obstacle courses can calm an overactive system or energise an under-responsive one. Fine motor interventions strengthen hand control and coordination, which supports classroom participation and independence. Handwriting therapy directly addresses the motor planning and sustained attention required for writing tasks, using graded exercises and adaptive strategies. For example, a child might work with textured materials to build finger strength, then progress to pencil control activities. Kids Play OT – Springfield Lakes is NDIS registered, meaning many families can access these services through NDIS funding plans (2025-26 pricing arrangements apply). An occupational therapist can identify how sensory, motor, and attention factors interact for your child, though we note that OTs cannot diagnose ADHD or other conditions—diagnosis remains with your doctor or paediatrician.
