ADHD Support at Marama Allied Health — Across NSW

Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often experience challenges with fine motor skills, which can affect handwriting, self-care tasks, and classroom participation. Marama Allied Health offers occupational therapy services that address these interconnected areas through targeted fine motor interventions. Our occupational therapists work with children to develop hand strength and coordination using engaging, play-based activities. For example, threading beads, scissor skills practice, and pencil grip training help build the foundational skills needed for writing and drawing. We also incorporate activities like playdough manipulation and construction tasks that naturally improve finger dexterity whilst maintaining a child's engagement and motivation. At Marama Allied Health, we recognise that improved fine motor control can boost confidence and reduce frustration during academic tasks, which may positively influence attention and focus. Our therapists collaborate with families to identify strategies that work within your child's daily routines at home and school. If your family is NDIS-funded, occupational therapy services may be covered under your plan; we encourage you to discuss funding eligibility with us. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD, but we can support the functional skills that complement your child's overall development and wellbeing.
