Services Leap Ahead Occupational Therapy offers for adhd
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often experience challenges with sensory processing and fine motor coordination, which can impact their ability to focus, organise tasks, and engage in learning. At Leap Ahead Occupational Therapy, our occupational therapists address these underlying areas to support better attention and self-regulation. Through sensory processing work, we help children develop awareness of their body in space and manage sensory input—for example, using weighted blankets or cushions during learning tasks, or incorporating movement breaks with activities like jumping on a trampoline to help reset focus. Fine motor interventions strengthen the small muscles needed for writing and pencil control, reducing frustration during schoolwork. We might use activities such as threading beads, scissor skills practice, or handwriting exercises tailored to each child's needs. Leap Ahead Occupational Therapy recognises that many families access support through NDIS funding (2025-26 arrangements), and we work collaboratively to help maximise these resources for your child's therapy goals. Our holistic approach means we're not just addressing individual skills—we're building confidence and independence across daily activities.

About adhd
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a developmental difference that affects attention, activity level, and impulse control. In Australia, ADHD is diagnosed by a paediatrician, psychiatrist, or psychologist, often after a family or school notices ongoing differences in attention, behaviour, or self-regulation across multiple settings.

Common questions
Can an occupational therapist diagnose ADHD?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or other neurodevelopmental conditions—this requires assessment by a medical professional or psychologist. However, our team at Leap Ahead Occupational Therapy can identify difficulties with sensory processing, fine motor skills, and attention-related functional challenges, then work with you and other professionals to support your child's needs.
How does sensory work help a child who struggles to concentrate?
Many children with attention difficulties are either over- or under-responsive to sensory input, which affects their ability to focus. Sensory activities—like weighted equipment, movement breaks, or fidget tools—help regulate their nervous system so they can settle and concentrate better. Leap Ahead Occupational Therapy tailors these strategies to your child's individual sensory profile.
