ADHD Support at Upside Down Therapy — Alderley, QLD

Children with ADHD often experience challenges with sensory processing and fine motor control, which can impact their ability to focus, organise tasks, and manage daily activities. At Upside Down Therapy in Alderley, occupational therapists address these underlying difficulties through targeted interventions. Sensory processing support helps children regulate their nervous system and improve attention—for example, using weighted blankets or compression equipment during sessions, or incorporating movement breaks with a therapy ball to help settle restless energy. Fine motor work develops the hand strength and coordination needed for writing, fastening buttons, and managing school materials, reducing frustration that can worsen attention difficulties. Activities might include threading beads, scissor skills practice, or pencil grip exercises tailored to each child's needs. While occupational therapy cannot diagnose ADHD, Upside Down Therapy works alongside your child's medical team to support the functional challenges they experience. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing structures apply), making therapy more accessible. The clinic takes a holistic approach, recognising that when sensory and motor skills improve, children often find it easier to concentrate and engage in learning.
