ADHD Support at Occupational Therapy Paediatric Services — Chippendale, NSW

Occupational Therapy Paediatric Services lists sensory processing support as part of its service offerings. Sensory processing difficulties often co-occur with attention challenges in children, as difficulties filtering or organising sensory input can make it harder for children to focus and regulate their behaviour. According to its listing, the clinic may use sensory-based activities to help children develop better awareness of their body in space and improve their ability to concentrate. Examples of interventions that occupational therapists typically employ include sensory swing work to provide vestibular input and improve body awareness, use of weighted equipment such as weighted blankets or lap pads to support calming and focus, and structured fine-motor activities that require sustained attention. Occupational Therapy Paediatric Services does not diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder—diagnosis remains the role of medical professionals—but may support children who have already received a diagnosis by addressing the functional impact of sensory difficulties on daily activities like learning and self-regulation.
