ADHD Support at Little Steps — Across NSW
Little Steps in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services Little Steps offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often experience challenges with sensory regulation and fine motor control, which can impact their ability to focus, organise their thoughts, and complete daily tasks. At Little Steps, our occupational therapists work with sensory processing and handwriting to support these areas. Through sensory integration activities—such as using weighted blankets during focused work time, engaging with textured materials, or practising movement-based exercises on therapy equipment—children can develop better body awareness and self-regulation skills. For handwriting difficulties, Little Steps provides targeted fine motor training, including pencil grip exercises, hand strength activities, and multi-sensory writing practice that helps children develop the motor control needed for academic tasks. We also incorporate visual supports and structured routines into sessions to help children manage transitions and maintain attention. Many families access Little Steps services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing), which can cover occupational therapy support tailored to your child's individual goals. Our therapists work collaboratively with families and schools to ensure strategies are consistent across environments, supporting your child's overall development and confidence.

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 or attention difficulties?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or attention difficulties—that requires assessment by a medical professional or psychologist. However, Little Steps can identify how sensory processing or motor skills might be affecting your child's ability to concentrate and participate in daily activities, and we can provide targeted support in these areas regardless of diagnosis.
How does sensory work help a child who struggles to focus?
Many children with attention difficulties find it hard to filter out distractions or regulate their energy levels. Sensory activities—like movement breaks, fidget tools, or weighted equipment—help calm or energise the nervous system, making it easier for children to settle and concentrate. Little Steps tailors sensory strategies to your child's individual needs.
Will occupational therapy fix my child's handwriting or attention problems?
Occupational therapy supports skill development and helps children find strategies that work for them, but it's not a 'fix'. Little Steps focuses on building confidence, improving motor control, and developing self-regulation tools that help your child participate more successfully in school and home activities over time.
