ADHD Support at KidsPoint — Across NSW

Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with attention, impulse control, and sensory regulation. KidsPoint recognises that sensory processing challenges frequently co-occur with attention difficulties, and our occupational therapists work to support children by improving their ability to process and respond to sensory information effectively. Through sensory processing services, we help children develop better self-regulation strategies, which can positively influence their capacity to focus and engage in learning and play. At KidsPoint, we use evidence-based interventions tailored to each child's needs. Examples include: using weighted equipment or compression tools to provide calming input before learning tasks; designing movement-based activities such as controlled swinging or jumping to help children discharge excess energy and reset their attention; and creating structured sensory breaks within routines to support sustained concentration. We also work with families to understand how their child's sensory preferences affect behaviour and attention at home and school. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025–26 rates), though we encourage you to discuss your individual circumstances with us. Please note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder; however, we can support children identified with these conditions and work collaboratively with other professionals involved in your child's care.
