ADHD Support at OT with Tahls — ACT

OT with Tahls lists fine motor skills as a service area, which is commonly addressed in occupational therapy support for children with ADHD and attention difficulties. Fine motor challenges—such as difficulty with pencil grip, handwriting, or fastening buttons—often co-occur with attention difficulties and can impact a child's ability to participate in learning and daily activities. Fine motor work typically involves targeted exercises and activities designed to build hand strength, coordination, and control. Examples of interventions that occupational therapists commonly use include scissor practice and cutting activities to develop hand strength, threading or bead work to improve finger dexterity and sustained focus, and handwriting practice using adaptive grips or specialised pencils to support better control and comfort during writing tasks. OT with Tahls may incorporate these types of activities into sessions tailored to individual needs. Parents should note that an occupational therapist cannot diagnose ADHD or attention difficulties; however, they can support the functional impacts these conditions may have on fine motor performance and participation. NDIS registration for OT with Tahls has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Families interested in NDIS funding should enquire directly with the clinic about funding eligibility and whether sessions may be covered under NDIS plans for the 2025-26 financial year.
