ADHD Support at Thrive OT — NSW

Thrive OT lists sensory processing and fine motor services, both of which are commonly addressed in paediatric occupational therapy for children with attention difficulties. Sensory processing support typically focuses on helping children regulate their responses to sensory input, which can affect concentration and behaviour. According to its listing, Thrive OT may use strategies such as sensory diet activities (including movement breaks with equipment like therapy balls or balance boards), weighted tools, and environmental modifications to support sustained attention. Fine motor services address hand strength, coordination, and control—skills that underpin handwriting, fastening buttons, and using cutlery, all of which can be challenging for children with attention difficulties. Thrive OT's fine motor interventions may include activities such as threading, scissor work, and pencil grip exercises tailored to individual needs. It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional. Families interested in exploring whether Thrive OT's listed services align with their child's needs are encouraged to contact the clinic directly. NDIS registration for Thrive OT has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot; families should verify funding eligibility and registration status directly with the clinic if considering NDIS-funded support under the 2025-26 arrangements.
