ADHD Support at Kristie Ellis — Turramurra, NSW

Kristie Ellis provides occupational therapy support for children experiencing ADHD and attention difficulties across NSW. Through tailored interventions, the clinic helps children develop better focus, self-regulation, and functional skills in everyday settings. Occupational therapists at Kristie Ellis work with children using evidence-based strategies such as sensory motor activities—including the use of weighted vests or lap pads to improve body awareness and calm the nervous system—and structured movement breaks that help reset attention between tasks. Fine motor and coordination exercises are incorporated to support handwriting and classroom engagement, whilst visual schedules and environmental modifications help children anticipate transitions and reduce anxiety. The clinic also addresses executive function challenges through activity-based learning and home programme recommendations that parents can implement daily. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD; however, they can assess how attention difficulties impact a child's participation in school, self-care, and play. Many families access Kristie Ellis services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy assessments and intervention sessions. The clinic works collaboratively with families, schools, and other professionals to create consistent support across all environments.
