ADHD Support at SAPAN — Across SA
SAPAN in Across SA lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services SAPAN offers for adhd
Children with attention difficulties often experience challenges with sensory processing, which can significantly impact their ability to focus, regulate behaviour, and engage in learning. At SAPAN, our occupational therapists work with sensory processing to help children develop better self-regulation and attention skills. Sensory-based interventions might include activities such as using a sensory swing or body sock to provide calming input before learning tasks, weighted equipment like lap pads or vests to improve body awareness and focus, and structured movement breaks that help reset attention. These strategies help children manage sensory needs so they can concentrate better at school and home. SAPAN recognises that many families access support through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing arrangements), and our team can work collaboratively with your plan to address sensory and attention-related goals. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing difficulties—diagnosis comes from medical professionals—but we can support children in managing the everyday challenges these conditions present.

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 SAPAN diagnose my child's ADHD or attention difficulties?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or attention disorders—that's a role for doctors or psychologists. However, SAPAN can assess how sensory processing and motor skills affect your child's attention and daily functioning, and we can provide strategies and activities to support better focus and self-regulation at home and school.
How does sensory processing work relate to my child's attention problems?
Many children with attention difficulties struggle to filter sensory information, making it hard to focus. SAPAN uses sensory activities—like movement breaks, weighted tools, or calming input—to help your child's nervous system settle, which often improves their ability to concentrate and follow instructions.
Does SAPAN accept NDIS funding?
SAPAN's NDIS registration status is not currently confirmed. We recommend contacting the clinic directly to discuss funding options and whether your child's NDIS plan can be used for our services. Our team can also help you understand how occupational therapy supports your child's goals.
