ADHD Support at The Child Development Hub — North Lakes, QLD

Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with sensory processing, fine motor control, and handwriting—areas where occupational therapy can make a meaningful difference. At The Child Development Hub in North Lakes, our occupational therapists work with these interconnected challenges through tailored interventions. Sensory processing support helps children regulate their nervous system and improve focus; this might include activities like using a sensory swing or weighted lap pad during learning tasks to promote calm alertness. Fine motor work strengthens the small muscles needed for pencil control and self-care tasks, using exercises such as threading, scissor activities, or manipulating small objects. Handwriting intervention addresses the physical and cognitive demands of writing, often incorporating multi-sensory approaches and adaptive strategies. Many families access The Child Development Hub's services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing structures apply), which can cover occupational therapy sessions when a child has an approved plan. Our therapists work collaboratively with families and schools to embed strategies into everyday routines, supporting children's participation at home, in the classroom, and in the community.
