ADHD Support at Occupational Therapy Helping Children — Pymble, NSW

Occupational Therapy Helping Children lists both ADHD and sensory processing support among its services. Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from occupational therapy approaches that address sensory regulation, motor planning, and environmental modifications to support focus and task completion.

Sensory processing difficulties frequently co-occur with attention challenges. Occupational Therapy Helping Children's sensory processing service may involve activities such as sensory motor breaks using equipment like therapy balls or balance boards to help regulate arousal levels before learning tasks, weighted blankets or compression clothing to provide calming input, and structured movement activities that support sustained attention. Fine motor and coordination work can also address the physical restlessness or fidgeting that sometimes accompanies attention difficulties, through activities like threading, construction play, or handwriting preparation exercises.

The clinic also lists ADHD as a service area. Occupational therapy approaches for ADHD typically focus on developing routines, environmental organisation, and self-regulation strategies rather than treating the condition itself. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose ADHD, but can support children in managing its functional impacts on daily activities like getting ready, completing schoolwork, and social participation.
