Services North West Therapy Services offers for adhd
North West Therapy Services supports children with attention difficulties through targeted occupational therapy addressing the underlying sensory and motor challenges that often accompany these conditions. Sensory processing work helps children regulate their nervous system, improving focus and self-control. This might include activities like using a sensory swing to provide calming input, working with weighted equipment to enhance body awareness, or creating structured sensory circuits that help children transition between tasks. Handwriting intervention addresses the fine-motor coordination and motor planning difficulties that can make written work frustrating and contribute to attention fatigue. North West Therapy Services may use activities such as finger-strengthening exercises, pencil grip training, and multi-sensory writing approaches to build confidence and reduce the physical effort required for writing. These services work together to remove barriers to attention and learning. Many families access support through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy sessions tailored to your child's needs. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing difficulties—this requires a medical professional—but they can identify and address the functional challenges your child experiences in daily activities.

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 focus better at school?
Occupational therapy addresses the sensory and motor foundations that support attention. By improving body awareness, reducing sensory overwhelm, and building fine-motor confidence, children often find it easier to settle and concentrate. North West Therapy Services works with your child's specific needs, though results vary. Your child's teacher and GP can also provide valuable observations about attention patterns.
How do I know if my child needs sensory processing support?
Signs include difficulty sitting still, sensitivity to sounds or textures, fidgeting, or struggling with transitions. An occupational therapist at North West Therapy Services can observe how your child responds to their environment and daily activities. However, only a medical professional can diagnose sensory processing difficulties. Your GP can refer you for assessment.
Is occupational therapy covered by NDIS?
Yes, if your child has an approved NDIS plan, occupational therapy is typically a funded support. North West Therapy Services is NDIS registered, so you can use your plan funding for sessions. Contact the clinic or your NDIS planner to discuss how therapy can be incorporated into your 2025-26 plan.
