Services Sydney Kids Hand Therapy & Occupational Therapy Centre offers for adhd
Sydney Kids Hand Therapy & Occupational Therapy Centre lists three services that are commonly addressed in occupational therapy support for children with attention and focus difficulties: sensory processing, fine motor skills, and handwriting.
Children with attention difficulties often experience sensory sensitivities or under-responsiveness that can affect their ability to concentrate and regulate behaviour. The clinic's sensory processing service may involve activities such as weighted blanket use during learning tasks, movement breaks using resistance equipment, or structured sensory circuits designed to help children organise their nervous system before schoolwork. Fine motor development is frequently linked to attention, as children who struggle with pencil grip, scissor control, or hand strength may become frustrated or avoidant during fine motor tasks, which can appear as inattention. Sydney Kids Hand Therapy & Occupational Therapy Centre lists fine motor intervention that might include threading activities, playdough manipulation, or tripod grip exercises to build foundational skills. Handwriting difficulties are common in children with attention challenges; the clinic's handwriting service may address letter formation, pencil pressure, and seated posture—factors that can reduce fatigue and improve focus during written work.
Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or attention disorders. NDIS funding may be available for eligible children under the 2025-26 scheme, though Sydney Kids Hand Therapy & Occupational Therapy Centre's NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents are encouraged to contact the clinic directly to discuss funding options and service suitability.

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 diagnose ADHD or attention difficulties in my child?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or attention disorders—diagnosis requires assessment by a paediatrician, psychiatrist, or psychologist. However, an occupational therapist can identify difficulties with sensory processing, fine motor skills, and handwriting that may co-occur with or contribute to attention challenges, and can recommend strategies to support these areas.
Does Sydney Kids Hand Therapy & Occupational Therapy Centre accept NDIS funding?
The clinic's NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents should contact Sydney Kids Hand Therapy & Occupational Therapy Centre directly to ask about NDIS eligibility, funding arrangements for 2025-26, and whether they accept NDIS plans. Some services may also be available through private payment or other funding schemes.
What can I expect during a session if my child has attention difficulties?
Sessions typically focus on the specific areas listed by the clinic—such as sensory regulation activities, fine motor exercises, or handwriting practice. The occupational therapist will assess your child's skills and may use play-based or structured activities tailored to their needs. Sessions often include strategies parents can use at home to support attention and engagement during daily tasks.
