ADHD Support at Paper Scissors Play — Across NSW
Paper Scissors Play in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services Paper Scissors Play offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with attention regulation and sensory processing, which can affect their ability to focus, organise themselves, and participate in daily activities. Paper Scissors Play supports these challenges through sensory processing interventions tailored to each child's needs. Sensory activities help children develop better body awareness and self-regulation, making it easier to concentrate and manage their energy levels. At Paper Scissors Play, occupational therapists might use strategies such as weighted equipment activities to provide calming input, movement-based exercises like obstacle courses or balance work to help channel energy productively, and structured fine-motor tasks that require sustained attention. These interventions can help children develop the foundational skills needed for learning and social participation. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, occupational therapy services may be covered under your plan. While Paper Scissors Play's NDIS registration status is being confirmed, the clinic welcomes enquiries about how sensory processing support can complement your child's overall care plan. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing difficulties, but can assess how these challenges affect your child's everyday functioning and recommend practical strategies.

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 an occupational therapist diagnose ADHD?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD—this requires assessment by a medical professional or psychologist. However, OTs can identify how attention difficulties affect your child's daily activities, learning, and participation. Paper Scissors Play's therapists work collaboratively with your child's healthcare team to support their specific needs.
What kinds of sensory activities might help my child focus better?
Sensory activities vary by child but may include weighted equipment use, movement breaks, tactile exploration, or balance challenges. These help regulate the nervous system and improve concentration. Paper Scissors Play designs activities based on your child's individual sensory profile and what helps them settle and attend.
Will NDIS funding cover occupational therapy at Paper Scissors Play?
NDIS funding may cover occupational therapy services if it's included in your child's plan for the 2025-26 financial year. Paper Scissors Play's NDIS registration status is being confirmed. Contact the clinic directly to discuss your funding options and how they can support your child's needs.
