ADHD Support at MoveAbout — Across NSW

Children with ADHD often experience challenges with sensory processing and fine motor control, which can impact their ability to focus, organise tasks, and engage in daily activities. At MoveAbout, our occupational therapists address these interconnected areas through tailored interventions. Sensory processing support helps children regulate their nervous system—for example, we might use weighted blankets or cushions during learning tasks to improve concentration, or incorporate movement breaks with sensory equipment like therapy balls to help reset attention. Fine motor work targets the precision skills needed for writing, fastening buttons, and managing school materials; activities might include threading beads, scissor practice, or pencil grip exercises that build confidence and reduce frustration. MoveAbout recognises that when children feel more in control of their bodies and can manage sensory input, they're better positioned to sustain attention and participate in learning. We work with families to understand how NDIS funding (2025-26 rates) might support these services, though registration status should be confirmed directly with the clinic. Our goal is to equip children with practical strategies they can use across home, school, and community settings.
