ADHD Support at South West Sydney Therapy — Across NSW
South West Sydney Therapy in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services South West Sydney Therapy offers for adhd
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from occupational therapy that addresses sensory processing and fine motor skills. At South West Sydney Therapy, our occupational therapists recognise that many children with attention challenges experience sensory sensitivities or motor coordination difficulties that can impact their ability to focus and engage in daily activities. Through sensory processing support, we help children develop better body awareness and regulation—for example, using weighted blankets or resistance activities during sessions to help calm an overactive nervous system, or providing movement breaks with equipment like therapy balls to support sustained attention. Fine motor interventions at South West Sydney Therapy target hand strength and coordination, which supports writing, drawing, and self-care tasks that require concentration. Examples include threading activities, scissor work, and pencil grip exercises that build the foundational skills needed for classroom participation. These services can be funded through NDIS plans (2025-26) where occupational therapy is identified as a support need. While occupational therapy addresses functional difficulties, it's important to note that an OT cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder—diagnosis comes from medical professionals. Our role is to support your child's participation and independence across home, school, and community 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 focus better at school?
Occupational therapy can support attention by addressing underlying sensory and motor factors that may interfere with focus. South West Sydney Therapy works on sensory regulation and fine motor skills that help children sit comfortably, manage distractions, and engage with learning tasks. However, OT is one part of a broader support approach—your child's school, GP, and other professionals also play important roles in supporting attention difficulties.
How do I know if my child needs occupational therapy for ADHD?
If your child struggles with fine motor tasks (writing, buttons, scissors), sensory sensitivities (loud noises, textures), or coordination, occupational therapy may help. South West Sydney Therapy can conduct an assessment to identify functional difficulties and discuss whether OT support would benefit your child. A GP or paediatrician can also recommend OT as part of your child's overall care plan.
Will NDIS funding cover occupational therapy at South West Sydney Therapy?
NDIS funding can cover occupational therapy where it's identified as a support need in your child's plan (2025-26 funding year). Eligibility and funding amounts vary by individual plan. Contact South West Sydney Therapy directly to discuss your child's situation and explore funding options, or speak with your NDIS planner about including occupational therapy in your plan.
