ADHD Support at Nest Health Hub — Across NSW

Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with attention regulation and sensory processing, which can impact their ability to focus, participate in daily activities, and manage their behaviour. Nest Health Hub supports these challenges through sensory processing interventions tailored to each child's needs. Occupational therapists work with children to develop better body awareness and self-regulation strategies. For example, activities might include using a sensory swing or weighted lap pad to help calm the nervous system before learning tasks, or engaging in fine-motor activities like threading beads or using adaptive scissors to build focus and hand strength. Visual schedules and environmental modifications can also help children anticipate transitions and reduce anxiety. At Nest Health Hub, our occupational therapists assess how sensory sensitivities may be contributing to attention difficulties and create individualised plans. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder—diagnosis comes from medical professionals—but OTs can identify sensory factors affecting function and address them therapeutically. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing structures apply where eligible), though private sessions are also available. Working with Nest Health Hub means your child receives support that recognises the connection between sensory regulation and attention.
