ADHD Support at Skids and Giggles Toilet Training — 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. Skids and Giggles Toilet Training recognises these interconnected needs and incorporates fine motor development into their occupational therapy approach. Fine motor work helps improve hand strength, coordination, and control—skills essential for sustained attention during writing tasks and daily routines. At Skids and Giggles Toilet Training, interventions may include structured hand exercises using tweezers or threading activities to build finger dexterity, scissor skills practice to develop bilateral coordination, and pencil grip assessment with tailored strategies to reduce writing fatigue. These activities also support self-regulation, as focused fine motor work can help children channel restless energy into purposeful tasks. The clinic works with families to understand how fine motor development connects to independence in toileting, dressing, and other self-care routines. If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding in 2025-26, Skids and Giggles Toilet Training can discuss how occupational therapy services might be incorporated into your plan. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD; however, they can address the functional difficulties that often accompany attention challenges.
