Services Thrive Health Therapies offers for adhd
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from targeted occupational therapy support. At Thrive Health Therapies in Across, we address two key areas that frequently impact these children: sensory processing and handwriting skills.
Sensory processing difficulties can make it harder for children to filter distractions and regulate their attention. Our sensory interventions help children develop better body awareness and self-regulation. Examples include using sensory swings or weighted equipment during structured activities to help calm the nervous system, and incorporating movement breaks with resistance activities to support focus before learning tasks. We also use visual schedules and environmental modifications to reduce sensory overwhelm.
Handwriting challenges often compound attention difficulties, as struggling with pencil control can increase frustration and reduce engagement in schoolwork. Thrive Health Therapies provides fine-motor exercises, adaptive pencil grips, and postural support strategies to make writing less effortful, allowing children to direct more attention to the task itself.
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder, but we work collaboratively with your child's medical team to support their development. If you hold an NDIS plan, many of these services may be funded under 2025-26 arrangements. We encourage you to discuss your child's specific needs with our team.

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 help my child focus better at school?
Occupational therapy addresses underlying factors that affect attention, such as sensory regulation and fine-motor skills. By reducing distractions through sensory strategies and making writing easier through postural support and grip training, children often find it less taxing to concentrate. However, results vary by child. We work alongside your child's school and medical team to support their learning.
Does Thrive Health Therapies bulk-bill or accept NDIS funding?
Thrive Health Therapies is NDIS registered, meaning many children with an approved plan can access services with NDIS funding under the 2025-26 funding arrangements. We recommend contacting the clinic directly to discuss your funding options and how your plan can support your child's therapy needs.
How long does it take to see improvements in attention and handwriting?
Progress depends on your child's individual needs, consistency of therapy, and home practice. Some children notice changes in a few weeks, whilst others benefit from longer-term support. Thrive Health Therapies will work with you to set realistic goals and monitor progress through regular review.
