North Coast Kids in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services North Coast Kids offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with attention regulation and sensory processing, which can affect their ability to focus, participate in daily activities, and manage their behaviour. North Coast Kids addresses these challenges through occupational therapy focused on sensory processing support. Sensory-based interventions help children develop better awareness of their body in space and improve their ability to filter out distracting stimuli. For example, activities using sensory swings or weighted blankets can help calm an overactive nervous system, whilst structured fine-motor tasks—such as threading, cutting, or construction play—build focus and hand-eye coordination. Visual schedules and environmental modifications also support attention by reducing cognitive load. North Coast Kids works with families to understand how sensory sensitivities may be contributing to attention difficulties, though occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder. If you're accessing NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, occupational therapy services may be covered under your plan. It's worth discussing with North Coast Kids how their approach aligns with your child's specific needs and funding arrangements.

About adhd
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a developmental difference that affects attention, activity level, and impulse control. In Australia, ADHD is diagnosed by a paediatrician, psychiatrist, or psychologist, often after a family or school notices ongoing differences in attention, behaviour, or self-regulation across multiple settings.

Common questions
Can occupational therapy help my child's ADHD symptoms?
Occupational therapy can support children with ADHD by addressing sensory processing difficulties and developing strategies for attention and self-regulation. North Coast Kids focuses on practical, everyday skills and environmental adjustments that help children manage their attention better. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD—that requires a medical professional. An OT assessment can identify sensory or motor factors that may be contributing to attention challenges.
How does sensory processing work relate to attention difficulties?
Children who struggle with sensory processing may find it harder to filter out background noise, manage movement, or stay focused because their nervous system is working overtime. Sensory-based activities help regulate the nervous system, making it easier to concentrate. North Coast Kids uses tailored sensory interventions to help your child develop better self-awareness and control, which often improves their ability to attend to tasks.
Will NDIS funding cover occupational therapy at North Coast Kids?
Occupational therapy is often covered under NDIS plans in the 2025-26 financial year, depending on your child's plan and goals. North Coast Kids can discuss your funding eligibility and how their services align with your plan. We recommend contacting them directly to confirm their NDIS registration status and to explore what funding options may be available for your family.
