ADHD Support at Ultra Occupational Therapy — Across NSW

Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with sensory processing, which can affect their ability to focus, regulate emotions, and participate in daily activities. Ultra Occupational Therapy addresses these challenges through targeted sensory processing support, helping children develop better awareness of their body and environment. Our occupational therapists work with children using evidence-based strategies such as sensory diet activities—customised routines that might include weighted lap pads during schoolwork to improve focus, or controlled movement breaks using balance boards and trampolines to help reset attention. We also incorporate calming sensory stations with items like fidget tools and textured materials, and teach children to recognise their own sensory needs so they can self-regulate more effectively. Ultra Occupational Therapy can work alongside NDIS funding where eligible, helping families access support through the 2025–26 scheme. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder; however, we can identify sensory factors that may be contributing to attention difficulties and develop practical strategies to support your child's engagement at home, school, and in the community.
