ADHD Support at Occupational Therapy — Across NSW
Occupational Therapy in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services Occupational Therapy offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often experience challenges with sensory processing, fine motor control, and handwriting—areas where Occupational Therapy can provide meaningful support. At Occupational Therapy across NSW, our therapists work with children to improve their ability to filter and respond to sensory information, which can help reduce distractibility and support better focus during daily activities. For example, we might use sensory strategies like weighted lap pads or movement breaks on a therapy ball to help a child regulate before schoolwork. Fine motor interventions—such as threading activities, scissor practice, or hand strength exercises—build the coordination needed for writing and typing. Handwriting support includes postural awareness, pencil grip refinement, and letter formation practice tailored to each child's needs. These services can be funded through NDIS in the 2025-26 financial year if your child has an approved plan. While Occupational Therapy addresses these functional areas, we cannot diagnose ADHD or other conditions—that role belongs to your child's doctor or paediatrician. Our focus is on building practical skills and strategies that support your child's participation at school, home, and in the community.

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 can support focus by addressing underlying sensory and motor challenges that may contribute to attention difficulties. Strategies like movement breaks, sensory tools, and postural support can help some children settle and engage better with learning tasks. However, results vary between children, and we work alongside your child's school and healthcare team to build a comprehensive approach.
Will the OT diagnose my child with ADHD?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or other conditions. That assessment is done by your GP, paediatrician, or psychologist. Our role is to identify functional difficulties—like handwriting struggles or sensory sensitivities—and provide targeted support to help your child succeed in everyday activities.
Can we access these services through NDIS funding?
If your child has an approved NDIS plan that includes occupational therapy support, services may be funded under the 2025-26 scheme. We recommend checking your plan details and contacting us to discuss your child's needs and funding eligibility. We can also provide information to support your NDIS planning conversations.
