Services Sensory Smart offers for adhd
Sensory Smart lists sensory processing as a service area, which is commonly addressed in occupational therapy support for children with attention difficulties. Children with ADHD often experience sensory regulation challenges that can affect their ability to focus, manage transitions, and participate in daily activities. According to its listing, Sensory Smart may work with sensory input through activities designed to help children organise and respond appropriately to sensory information.
Specific interventions that occupational therapists typically use for attention difficulties include weighted equipment work (such as weighted vests or lap pads to provide calming input during learning tasks), sensory motor activities (like obstacle courses or balance work to support body awareness and focus), and environmental modifications to reduce distracting sensory input. Sensory Smart may also incorporate fine-motor and coordination activities that support sustained attention and task engagement.
It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing difficulties; diagnosis remains the role of medical professionals. Families interested in exploring sensory-based support may wish to clarify with Sensory Smart whether the clinic is registered with the NDIS, as this has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. NDIS funding (2025-26) may be available to eligible participants to support occupational therapy services, depending on individual plans and goals.

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.
