ADHD Support at The Speech & OT Centre — Across NSW

Children with ADHD often experience challenges with sensory processing and fine motor skills, which can impact their ability to concentrate, organise themselves, and engage in daily activities. The Speech & OT Centre supports these areas through targeted occupational therapy interventions. Sensory processing work helps children regulate their nervous system—for example, using weighted blankets or compression tools during activities, or incorporating movement breaks with sensory swings to help them refocus. Fine motor therapy addresses hand strength and coordination through purposeful activities like threading, scissor work, and pencil grip exercises, which build the foundational skills needed for writing and self-care tasks. The Speech & OT Centre recognises that improved sensory regulation and motor control often help children manage attention difficulties more effectively in school and home environments. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD, they work collaboratively with families and other professionals to address the functional challenges these children face. Depending on your circumstances, services may be funded through the NDIS (2025-26 pricing structures apply for registered providers), private health insurance, or out-of-pocket arrangements. The Speech & OT Centre can discuss funding options during your initial consultation.
