ADHD Support at Moveability — Across SA

Children with ADHD often experience challenges with sensory regulation and fine motor control, which can impact their ability to focus, organise tasks, and manage daily activities. At Moveability, our occupational therapists address these interconnected areas through tailored interventions. Sensory processing support helps children develop better body awareness and self-regulation—for example, we might use weighted blankets or resistance activities to help a child settle before schoolwork, or incorporate movement breaks with balance equipment to support sustained attention. Fine motor work targets the precision and coordination needed for writing, fastening buttons, and managing classroom materials; activities like threading, scissor skills practice, and handwriting exercises build the confidence and control that can reduce frustration during academic tasks. Moveability recognises that sensory and motor difficulties often co-occur with attention challenges, and our therapists work collaboratively to identify which strategies support each child best. Families may be eligible for NDIS funding (2025–26) to access these services, depending on their child's plan. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose ADHD, but we can assess how sensory and motor skills affect your child's everyday functioning and recommend practical strategies for home and school.
