ADHD Support at Rosebery Kids OT — Across NSW

Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often experience challenges with fine motor skills, which can affect handwriting, self-care tasks, and classroom participation. Rosebery Kids OT addresses these interconnected areas through targeted occupational therapy. Fine motor interventions help strengthen hand muscles and improve coordination—essential for sustained focus during writing tasks. For example, therapists might use activities like threading beads, scissor work, or pencil grip exercises to build the hand strength and control needed for better concentration during schoolwork. Rosebery Kids OT may also incorporate fidget tools and movement breaks into sessions, recognising that many children with attention difficulties benefit from structured sensory input. Handwriting practice combined with postural support can reduce the physical frustration that often accompanies attention challenges, allowing children to engage more effectively with learning. If your child is NDIS-funded, occupational therapy services may be covered under your plan, depending on your goals and funding allocation for the 2025-26 financial year. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD; however, they can support the functional difficulties that often accompany it, working alongside your child's medical team.
