ADHD Support at Leaps and Bounds Disability Services — Across QLD

Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from targeted support in sensory processing and fine motor skills, both areas where Leaps and Bounds Disability Services provides specialised intervention. Sensory processing difficulties can make it harder for children to filter distractions and regulate their attention, whilst fine motor challenges may affect their ability to write, draw, or manage self-care tasks—all of which impact classroom performance and confidence. At Leaps and Bounds Disability Services, occupational therapists use evidence-based strategies tailored to each child's needs. Sensory interventions might include weighted blanket trials, movement breaks using a sensory swing, or fidget tools that help children stay focused during learning. Fine motor work could involve handwriting practice with adaptive grips, threading activities, or scissor skills training to build the hand strength and coordination needed for school tasks. If your child receives NDIS funding, these services are often eligible for support under the 2025-26 funding arrangements. An occupational therapist can assess how sensory and motor skills affect your child's attention and daily functioning, though they cannot diagnose ADHD or other conditions—that role belongs to your GP or paediatrician. Leaps and Bounds Disability Services works collaboratively with families and schools to create practical strategies that help children thrive.
