Services Sydney Child Development Specialists offers for adhd
Sydney Child Development Specialists provides occupational therapy support to help children with ADHD and attention difficulties develop skills for everyday success. Our therapists work with children to build focus, organisation, and self-regulation through tailored activities and environmental strategies. Common interventions include sensory-based activities such as movement breaks using balance equipment or weighted tools to help calm and organise the nervous system, visual schedules and checklists to support task initiation and completion, and fine-motor exercises that strengthen hand control and coordination—skills often intertwined with attention capacity. We also help families create structured routines and modify home or school environments to reduce distractions and support independence. At Sydney Child Development Specialists, we recognise that attention difficulties often co-occur with other developmental needs, and we work collaboratively with families, schools, and other professionals. Many families access our services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing structures apply), though we also support families with private and other funding arrangements. Our occupational therapists do not diagnose ADHD; however, we assess functional skills and develop practical strategies to support your child's participation at home, school, and in the community.

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 an occupational therapist diagnose ADHD?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD—that requires assessment by a paediatrician or psychologist. However, Sydney Child Development Specialists can assess how attention difficulties affect your child's daily functioning, learning, and participation. We then develop practical strategies and interventions to support focus, organisation, and self-regulation in everyday activities.
What should I expect in the first session at Sydney Child Development Specialists?
Your first session typically involves a detailed conversation about your child's strengths, challenges, and daily routines, followed by observation of how your child engages in activities. The therapist may assess fine-motor skills, sensory responses, and attention during play or structured tasks. This information helps us create a personalised therapy plan tailored to your child's needs.
How can NDIS funding help access therapy for attention difficulties?
If your child is NDIS-eligible, occupational therapy is often a funded support. NDIS funding (2025–26) can cover assessment and ongoing therapy sessions. Sydney Child Development Specialists can discuss your funding options and help you understand how therapy costs may be covered, whether through NDIS, private health insurance, or out-of-pocket arrangements.
