ADHD Support at Squish Kids – Capalaba — Capalaba, QLD

Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from occupational therapy that targets underlying sensory, motor, and coordination challenges. At Squish Kids – Capalaba, our therapists work with these areas through tailored interventions. Sensory processing support helps children regulate their nervous system and improve focus—activities might include using a sensory swing to build body awareness or working with weighted equipment to provide calming input during learning tasks. Fine motor and handwriting services address the coordination and planning skills needed for sustained attention during schoolwork; this might involve pencil grip exercises, threading activities, or practising letter formation with multi-sensory approaches. These services work together to support the foundations of attention and self-regulation. Many families access Squish Kids – Capalaba through NDIS funding, which can cover occupational therapy services for eligible children. Our therapists collaborate with families and schools to create strategies that help children manage their attention challenges in everyday settings. While occupational therapy cannot diagnose ADHD, it effectively addresses the functional difficulties that often accompany attention challenges, helping children develop skills for better classroom participation and daily independence.
