ADHD Support at TOTS — West Wollongong, NSW

TOTS lists sensory processing as a service area that may be relevant for children experiencing attention difficulties. Sensory processing challenges often co-occur with attention concerns, as difficulties filtering or responding to sensory input can affect a child's ability to concentrate and engage in activities. According to its listing, TOTS offers support in this area through occupational therapy approaches.

Sensory processing work typically involves activities designed to help children better organise and respond to sensory information from their environment. Examples of interventions that occupational therapists may use include work with sensory equipment such as weighted blankets or vests to provide calming input, movement-based activities using items like therapy balls or balance boards to support body awareness, and structured sensory breaks using fidget tools or textured materials to help maintain focus during tasks. TOTS may also incorporate visual supports and environmental modifications to reduce sensory distractions in learning or play spaces.

Funding for occupational therapy services varies depending on individual circumstances. Families may access services through private payment, health insurance, or other funding arrangements. NDIS registration for TOTS has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot, so families interested in NDIS-funded support should contact the clinic directly to discuss current funding options and eligibility.
