Services The Kids Place offers for adhd
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from occupational therapy that addresses underlying sensory processing and fine motor challenges. The Kids Place supports these children through targeted interventions in two key areas. Sensory processing work helps children regulate their nervous system and improve focus—for example, using sensory swings or weighted equipment during sessions to calm an overactive system, or providing movement breaks that help reset attention. Fine motor activities strengthen the hand control and coordination needed for writing, drawing, and self-care tasks, which can reduce frustration during schoolwork. The Kids Place might incorporate activities like threading beads, scissor work, or handwriting exercises tailored to each child's needs. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD, they can identify sensory or motor difficulties that may be contributing to attention challenges and work collaboratively with your child's school and other healthcare providers. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing applies), though The Kids Place's current registration status should be confirmed when enquiring.

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 a medical assessment. However, an OT can identify sensory processing or fine motor difficulties that may be affecting your child's attention and learning. The Kids Place works alongside your child's doctor and school to support their overall development.
How often would my child need to attend The Kids Place?
Frequency depends on your child's individual needs and goals. This is discussed during an initial consultation. Some children benefit from weekly sessions, while others attend fortnightly. The Kids Place will work with you to develop a plan that fits your family and, if applicable, aligns with your NDIS funding allocation.
Will occupational therapy help my child focus better at school?
Occupational therapy can address sensory and motor factors that sometimes interfere with attention and learning. By improving regulation and fine motor skills, children may find it easier to concentrate. However, outcomes vary. The Kids Place will discuss realistic goals with you and communicate with your child's school to support their progress.
