ADHD Support at Little Steps — Sydney, NSW

Little Steps lists sensory processing and handwriting support among its services, both of which are commonly addressed in occupational therapy for children with attention difficulties. Sensory processing interventions typically help children regulate their responses to environmental stimuli, which can support sustained focus and reduce fidgeting or avoidance behaviours. According to Little Steps' listing, sensory-based activities might include work with movement equipment, tactile exploration tasks, or environmental modifications to reduce distracting sensory input. Handwriting difficulties often co-occur with attention challenges, as the motor planning and sustained concentration required for writing can be particularly demanding. The clinic lists handwriting support that may involve fine-motor strengthening exercises, pencil grip strategies, or adaptive writing tools to reduce the physical effort needed, thereby freeing cognitive resources for attention. For example, a child might work with textured materials or weighted tools to improve body awareness, or practise letter formation through multi-sensory activities. Little Steps is listed as NDIS registered (self-reported), which means families with NDIS plans may be able to access funding for eligible services under the 2025-26 funding arrangements, subject to plan approval and individual circumstances. Parents should verify current registration status and discuss funding eligibility directly with the clinic.
