ADHD Support at LEAP Centre — Across NSW
LEAP Centre in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services LEAP Centre offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often experience challenges with sensory processing and fine motor control, which can impact their ability to focus, regulate emotions, and complete daily tasks. At LEAP Centre, our occupational therapists address these interconnected areas through tailored interventions. Sensory processing support helps children develop better body awareness and self-regulation—for example, we use sensory swings and weighted equipment to provide calming input, or incorporate movement breaks with resistance activities to help settle restless energy before learning tasks. Fine motor work targets the precision and coordination needed for writing, fastening buttons, and managing classroom materials; activities might include threading exercises, scissor skills practice, or pencil grip training using adaptive tools. These services work together to support attention and participation in school and home environments. LEAP Centre is NDIS registered, meaning families can access funding through the 2025-26 scheme to cover occupational therapy sessions. Our therapists work collaboratively with families and schools to embed strategies into everyday routines, helping children build confidence and independence.

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 occupational therapy diagnose ADHD or attention difficulties?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or attention disorders—this requires assessment by a paediatrician or psychologist. However, LEAP Centre's OTs can identify sensory and motor challenges that may be contributing to attention difficulties, and we work alongside your child's medical team to support their overall development and functioning.
How does LEAP Centre use NDIS funding for ADHD-related support?
If your child has an NDIS plan, occupational therapy services at LEAP Centre can be funded through your supports budget. We're registered NDIS providers, so we can claim sessions directly. We'll work with you to ensure therapy goals align with your plan and maximise the support available for your child's sensory and motor needs.
What can I expect during the first appointment?
Your initial session involves discussion of your child's history, daily challenges, and goals, followed by observation of how they move, play, and interact. LEAP Centre's therapist will assess sensory responses and fine motor skills, then discuss findings and create a personalised therapy plan with practical strategies for home and school.
