ADHD Support at Kool KATTS — Across NSW

Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often struggle with fine motor control and written communication, which can significantly impact their learning and confidence. At Kool KATTS, our occupational therapists address these challenges through targeted handwriting support tailored to each child's needs. We use evidence-based strategies such as fine motor strengthening exercises—including activities like threading, playdough manipulation, and scissor work—to build the foundational skills needed for writing. We also incorporate multisensory approaches, such as writing on textured surfaces or using weighted pencils, to help children develop better pencil control and body awareness. Additionally, Kool KATTS provides individualised strategies for letter formation, spacing, and posture, recognising that attention difficulties can make sustained writing tasks particularly challenging. Our therapists work collaboratively with families and schools to ensure strategies are practical and consistent across environments. For families accessing NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, occupational therapy services including handwriting support are eligible for coverage, making professional intervention more accessible. We focus on building your child's skills and confidence so they can participate more fully in classroom and home activities.
