ADHD Support at Speech OT Centre — Across NSW
Speech OT Centre in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services Speech OT Centre offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often experience challenges with sensory processing and fine motor control, which can impact their ability to focus, organise themselves, and engage in daily activities. At Speech OT Centre, our occupational therapists address these interconnected areas to support your child's attention and self-regulation. Through sensory processing work, we help children develop better body awareness and manage sensory sensitivities that may be contributing to distraction or restlessness. For example, we might use weighted equipment during activities, incorporate movement breaks on a sensory swing, or introduce calming sensory strategies before tasks requiring sustained attention. Fine motor interventions at Speech OT Centre focus on building the hand strength and coordination needed for writing, fastening buttons, and managing school materials—skills that directly support classroom participation and independence. Activities might include threading, scissor work, or pencil grip exercises tailored to your child's needs. While occupational therapy cannot diagnose ADHD, it can meaningfully improve the underlying sensory and motor foundations that affect attention and task completion. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), and we encourage you to discuss eligibility with your local NDIS planner.

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's ADHD symptoms?
Occupational therapy cannot diagnose or treat ADHD itself, but it can address sensory processing and fine motor difficulties that often co-occur and impact attention and self-regulation. By improving these underlying skills, children may find it easier to focus, organise themselves, and participate in daily activities. Speech OT Centre tailors interventions to your child's specific needs.
How much does occupational therapy cost, and can NDIS cover it?
Costs vary depending on the service and your child's needs. Many families access occupational therapy through NDIS funding under the 2025-26 pricing arrangements. If your child has an NDIS plan, Speech OT Centre can discuss how therapy sessions may be funded. We recommend checking your plan details or contacting your NDIS planner for specific information.
What should I expect in my first appointment at Speech OT Centre?
Your first session typically involves an assessment where the occupational therapist observes your child's sensory responses, fine motor skills, and attention during play and structured activities. They'll discuss your concerns and goals, then develop a personalised plan. Subsequent sessions include targeted activities and strategies you can use at home to support progress.
