ADHD Support at Mindful Motion — Wollongong, NSW

Mindful Motion lists sensory processing support as a service offering that may be relevant for children experiencing attention difficulties. Sensory processing challenges often co-occur with attention concerns, as difficulties filtering or organising sensory information can affect a child's ability to focus and regulate behaviour. According to its listing, the clinic addresses sensory needs through occupational therapy approaches.

Sensory processing interventions typically involve structured activities designed to help children organise and respond appropriately to sensory input. Examples of activities that occupational therapists commonly use include weighted equipment work (such as weighted vests or lap pads to provide calming input), sensory motor activities like obstacle courses or balance work to improve body awareness, and fine-motor tasks paired with sensory feedback. Mindful Motion may tailor these approaches to individual children's sensory profiles.

It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD, autism, or sensory processing disorder—diagnosis requires a medical professional. However, an OT can work with a child's existing diagnosis to address functional difficulties related to attention and sensory regulation. Families interested in accessing support through NDIS funding should verify Mindful Motion's registration status directly, as NDIS registration has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Funding arrangements for 2025-26 may apply if the clinic is registered.
