Services Occupational Therapy Helping Children offers for adhd
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from targeted occupational therapy support. At Occupational Therapy Helping Children, we address two key areas that frequently impact focus and engagement: sensory processing and fine motor skills.
Sensory processing difficulties can make it hard for children to filter distractions and regulate their attention. We use strategies like sensory breaks with equipment such as weighted blankets or fidget tools, movement activities on therapy balls, and structured sensory circuits to help calm or energise the nervous system as needed. Fine motor challenges can also affect concentration—when writing or manipulating small objects feels difficult, children may avoid tasks or struggle to stay on task. Occupational Therapy Helping Children incorporates fine motor exercises like threading, scissor work, and hand-strengthening activities that build confidence and reduce frustration during schoolwork.
These services work alongside other supports your child may receive. Many families access therapy through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), and we can discuss how your child's plan might support occupational therapy goals. Our therapists work collaboratively with schools and families to create practical strategies that transfer into everyday routines, helping children develop the skills and confidence they need to engage more effectively.

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 diagnose ADHD or attention difficulties?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or attention disorders—that requires assessment by a medical professional or psychologist. However, our therapists at Occupational Therapy Helping Children can identify sensory and motor skill challenges that may be contributing to attention difficulties, and we work with your child's existing diagnosis to provide targeted support.
How does sensory work help my child focus better?
Many children with attention difficulties have sensory processing differences that make it hard to filter distractions or regulate their energy levels. Sensory activities—like movement breaks, weighted equipment, or fidget strategies—help calm or alert the nervous system so your child can settle and concentrate. We tailor these to your child's individual needs.
Does Occupational Therapy Helping Children accept NDIS funding?
We recommend contacting Occupational Therapy Helping Children directly to confirm current NDIS registration and funding arrangements for 2025-26. We're happy to discuss how occupational therapy services might be funded through your child's plan and can provide information to support your funding applications.
