Services Offspring Health offers for adhd
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from targeted occupational therapy support. At Offspring Health in Acacia Ridge, VIC, we address two key areas that frequently overlap with attention challenges: sensory processing and handwriting skills.
Sensory processing difficulties can significantly impact a child's ability to focus and regulate their behaviour. Our sensory interventions help children develop better body awareness and self-regulation strategies. Examples include using sensory swings or weighted equipment to provide calming input, and structured movement breaks that help reset attention between tasks. These activities help children recognise their own sensory needs and develop tools to manage them independently.
Handwriting challenges often co-occur with attention difficulties, creating frustration during learning tasks. Offspring Health uses fine-motor exercises, pencil grip training, and adaptive writing tools to build confidence and reduce the physical effort required for writing. This can free up mental resources for focusing on the content of schoolwork rather than the mechanics of writing itself.
Whilst occupational therapy cannot diagnose ADHD, our interventions support the underlying skill areas that affect attention and learning. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing structures apply where eligible). We work collaboratively with families and other professionals to support your child's development.

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's ADHD diagnosis?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD, but we can support the underlying skills that affect attention, such as sensory regulation and fine-motor control. Offspring Health works alongside your child's medical team to address specific functional challenges. If your child hasn't been assessed for ADHD, we recommend discussing this with your GP or paediatrician.
How does sensory work help with attention difficulties?
Many children with attention difficulties have sensory processing challenges that make it hard to filter distractions or regulate their arousal level. At Offspring Health, sensory activities like movement breaks and weighted tools help children feel calmer and more organised, which often improves their ability to focus on tasks and follow instructions.
Is occupational therapy covered by NDIS?
Occupational therapy can be funded through NDIS if your child has an approved plan. Offspring Health can discuss your funding options and how services align with your child's goals. We recommend checking your current NDIS plan or contacting the NDIS directly about eligibility and 2025-26 pricing arrangements.
