ADHD Support at Nurture Allied Health SA — Salisbury, SA

Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with attention, impulse control, and sensory regulation. At Nurture Allied Health SA, our occupational therapists recognise that sensory processing challenges frequently co-occur with attention difficulties, and addressing these can significantly support a child's ability to focus and engage. Through sensory processing support, we help children develop better body awareness and self-regulation strategies. For example, we might use weighted equipment during tabletop activities to provide calming proprioceptive input, helping a child settle and concentrate on tasks. Sensory circuits—sequences of movement and tactile activities—can energise or calm depending on what your child needs before learning or social situations. We also incorporate fidget tools and textured materials into play-based interventions to channel restless energy productively. While occupational therapy cannot diagnose ADHD, Nurture Allied Health SA works alongside your child's medical team to address the underlying sensory and motor factors that may be contributing to attention challenges. Many families access our services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing structures apply), which can cover sensory-focused occupational therapy when it's part of a funded plan.
