Services Penrith City Childcare Services offers for adhd
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often experience challenges with sensory processing, which can affect their ability to focus, regulate emotions, and participate in daily activities. Penrith City Childcare Services offers sensory processing support designed to help children develop better self-regulation and attention skills. Through tailored interventions, occupational therapists work with children to strengthen their ability to process and respond appropriately to sensory information. For example, activities might include using sensory swings or weighted blankets to provide calming input, obstacle courses that build body awareness and coordination, or fidget tools and textured materials that support sustained focus during learning tasks. These strategies help reduce distractions and create a foundation for improved attention. Penrith City Childcare Services is registered with the NDIS, meaning many families can access funding to support these services under the 2025-26 funding arrangements. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing difficulties, but they can assess how sensory challenges impact your child's functioning and develop strategies to support them. Working collaboratively with your child's school and other healthcare providers ensures consistent support across all environments.

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 or other neurodevelopmental conditions. However, they can assess how sensory processing and motor skills affect your child's attention and participation in daily activities. At Penrith City Childcare Services, therapists work alongside your child's doctor or paediatrician to provide complementary support based on their specific needs.
How does sensory processing support help with attention difficulties?
Children with attention difficulties often struggle to filter sensory information, which can be distracting or overwhelming. Sensory processing interventions help children develop better self-regulation and body awareness. This might include calming activities, movement breaks, or using fidget tools—strategies that help settle the nervous system and improve focus for learning and play.
Can we use NDIS funding for services at Penrith City Childcare Services?
Yes, Penrith City Childcare Services is NDIS registered. If your child has an NDIS plan, you may be able to use your funding for occupational therapy services. We recommend discussing your child's goals and funding allocation with your NDIS planner to determine what support is available under 2025-26 arrangements.
