Services Macarthur Paediatric Occupational Therapy offers for adhd
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often experience challenges with sensory processing, which can affect their ability to focus, regulate emotions, and participate in daily activities. Macarthur Paediatric Occupational Therapy addresses these overlapping needs through targeted sensory interventions designed to help children develop better self-regulation and attention skills. Sensory processing support may include activities such as using sensory swings or weighted blankets to provide calming input, obstacle course activities that build body awareness and motor planning, and fidget tools or textured materials that support concentration during learning tasks. Our occupational therapists work with each child to identify their sensory preferences and create individualised strategies that can be used at home, school, and in the community. These interventions support children in managing their arousal levels, reducing distractibility, and improving their capacity to engage with tasks. Macarthur Paediatric Occupational Therapy is NDIS registered, meaning families may be able to access funding through the 2025–26 NDIS pricing arrangements to support these services. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder; however, they can assess functional difficulties and recommend strategies to support your child's everyday performance.

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 help my child focus better at school?
Yes. Occupational therapists work on sensory regulation and attention skills through tailored activities. By addressing sensory needs—such as providing movement breaks, fidget tools, or calming strategies—children often find it easier to concentrate. Macarthur Paediatric Occupational Therapy can also liaise with schools to suggest classroom adjustments that support your child's attention and participation.
Is my child's ADHD something an occupational therapist can diagnose?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD. However, they can assess how attention and sensory difficulties affect your child's daily functioning—at home, school, and play—and recommend practical strategies and interventions to help. A paediatrician or psychologist provides formal diagnosis.
Can we access Macarthur Paediatric Occupational Therapy through the NDIS?
Yes. Macarthur Paediatric Occupational Therapy is NDIS registered. If your child has an approved NDIS plan, you may be able to use your funding for occupational therapy services. Contact the clinic directly to discuss your plan and how services align with your child's goals under 2025–26 NDIS arrangements.
