ADHD Support at Squish Kids – Capalaba — Capalaba, QLD

Squish Kids – Capalaba lists three services that commonly support children with attention and focus difficulties: sensory processing, fine motor skills, and handwriting. Children with ADHD often experience sensory sensitivities or seek sensory input to help regulate their attention and behaviour. According to its listing, the clinic may use sensory processing work to address these needs through activities such as weighted equipment use, movement-based activities on sensory equipment, or environmental adjustments to reduce distracting sensory input. Fine motor development is frequently linked to attention, as difficulty with hand strength and control can make tasks like writing frustrating and attention-draining. Squish Kids – Capalaba lists fine motor interventions that may include hand strengthening exercises, pencil grip work, and coordination activities. Handwriting difficulties often co-occur with attention challenges, and the clinic's handwriting service may involve postural support, letter formation practice, and strategies to reduce the physical effort required for writing. Many families access these services through NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year if the child has an approved plan. It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or attention disorders; assessment and diagnosis remain the role of medical professionals. Parents considering Squish Kids – Capalaba should discuss how these listed services align with their child's specific needs and any existing diagnoses.
