Services POTS Newcastle offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often experience challenges with fine motor skills, which can affect handwriting, self-care tasks, and classroom participation. POTS Newcastle offers targeted fine motor interventions designed to build strength, coordination, and confidence in these areas. Our occupational therapists work with children using practical, engaging activities such as threading and bead work to develop hand strength and dexterity, scissor skills training to improve cutting control, and handwriting programmes that address pencil grip and letter formation. These interventions help children develop the motor skills needed for academic success and independence in daily activities. POTS Newcastle recognises that fine motor difficulties can significantly impact a child's ability to participate in school and home environments. If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, our team can discuss how occupational therapy services might be incorporated into your child's plan. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD, we can assess functional difficulties and provide strategies to support your child's participation and engagement across all settings.

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 with ADHD?
Occupational therapists at POTS Newcastle can support children with ADHD by addressing functional difficulties such as fine motor skills, organisation, and self-regulation strategies. We focus on helping your child participate more effectively in school, home, and social activities. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD—diagnosis is made by medical professionals. We work alongside other healthcare providers to support your child's overall development.
How does fine motor work relate to attention difficulties?
Fine motor challenges can make tasks like writing and self-care more effortful, which can increase frustration and reduce attention span. By improving fine motor skills through targeted activities, children often experience greater success and confidence in these tasks. POTS Newcastle's fine motor interventions help reduce the physical barriers to participation, allowing children to focus better on learning and engagement.
Does POTS Newcastle accept NDIS funding?
POTS Newcastle's NDIS registration status has not been confirmed. We recommend contacting the clinic directly to discuss funding options and how occupational therapy services might be accessed for your child. Our team can provide information about service arrangements and help you understand what support is available.
