ADHD Support at Tightrope Learning — Across NSW
Tightrope Learning in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services Tightrope Learning offers for adhd
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from targeted occupational therapy that addresses underlying sensory and motor challenges. At Tightrope Learning, our occupational therapists recognise that sensory processing difficulties and fine motor coordination issues can significantly impact a child's ability to focus, regulate emotions, and engage in learning. Through sensory processing support, we use evidence-informed strategies such as weighted equipment activities, movement breaks using sensory swings, and proprioceptive input exercises to help children develop better body awareness and self-regulation. Fine motor interventions at Tightrope Learning include precision grip activities, hand strength exercises, and coordination tasks that support handwriting and classroom participation. For example, activities might involve threading, scissor work, or pencil control games tailored to your child's interests. These services can be funded through NDIS support plans (2025-26) if your child has an approved plan. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder, but we work collaboratively with your child's medical team to support their development and participation in daily activities.

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 with ADHD focus better at school?
Occupational therapy addresses factors that may affect attention, such as sensory regulation and fine motor skills. By improving body awareness and reducing sensory distractions through activities like movement breaks and fidget tools, children often find it easier to concentrate. However, an OT cannot diagnose or treat ADHD itself—we work alongside your child's doctor to support their overall functioning.
How does Tightrope Learning tailor sessions for my child's needs?
Our occupational therapists conduct thorough assessments to understand your child's specific sensory and motor strengths and challenges. Sessions are individualised with activities matched to their interests and developmental level. We also provide strategies and recommendations for home and school to support consistency across environments.
Can NDIS funding cover therapy at Tightrope Learning?
NDIS funding may cover occupational therapy services if your child has an approved plan that includes therapy supports. We recommend checking your plan details and contacting us to discuss how we can support your child. Funding arrangements vary based on individual plans for 2025-26.
