ADHD Support at NAPA Centre — Lane Cove, NSW

NAPA Centre lists sensory processing as a service area that may be relevant for children experiencing attention difficulties. Sensory processing challenges often co-occur with attention concerns, as difficulties filtering or responding to sensory input can affect a child's ability to focus and engage in activities. According to its listing, the clinic addresses sensory-related needs through occupational therapy approaches.

Sensory processing interventions typically involve structured activities designed to help children organise and respond appropriately to sensory information. Examples of activities that NAPA Centre may offer include work with sensory equipment such as weighted blankets or vests to provide calming input, use of movement-based activities like balance bikes or stepping exercises to support body awareness, and fine-motor tasks involving textured materials or threading activities to build focus and hand coordination. These interventions aim to create a foundation for improved attention and participation in daily routines.

Families accessing services at NAPA Centre may be eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025-26 funding arrangements, depending on their child's plan and goals. However, NDIS registration for NAPA Centre has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents are encouraged to contact the clinic directly to discuss funding options and whether services align with their child's specific needs. It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical practitioner.
