Services Youth Living Skills offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with attention, impulse control, and sensory regulation. Youth Living Skills addresses these challenges through sensory processing support, which helps children develop better awareness of their body in space and improve their ability to focus. Sensory processing interventions at Youth Living Skills might include activities such as using a sensory swing or body sock to provide calming input before learning tasks, working with weighted equipment like lap pads or weighted vests to enhance body awareness, and engaging in structured movement breaks that support sustained attention. These strategies help regulate the nervous system, making it easier for children to concentrate during school or home activities. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose ADHD, but they can identify sensory sensitivities that may be contributing to attention difficulties and work collaboratively with families and other professionals. Youth Living Skills can support access to NDIS funding (2025–26) for eligible children, helping families manage the cost of ongoing therapy. By addressing sensory needs alongside other strategies, occupational therapy contributes to a holistic approach to supporting children's participation in daily activities and learning.

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 an occupational therapist diagnose ADHD?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD—this requires assessment by a medical professional or psychologist. However, Youth Living Skills can identify sensory processing difficulties and attention-related challenges that may co-occur with ADHD, and work with you and other professionals to support your child's needs through targeted therapy.
How does sensory processing therapy help with attention difficulties?
When children's sensory systems are dysregulated, it's harder for them to concentrate. Youth Living Skills uses sensory activities to calm or alert the nervous system as needed, helping children achieve a state where they can focus better. This might involve movement, tactile input, or proprioceptive activities tailored to your child's needs.
Does Youth Living Skills accept NDIS funding?
Youth Living Skills' NDIS registration status has not been confirmed. We recommend contacting the clinic directly to discuss funding options and how they can support your family's access to services, whether through NDIS or other payment arrangements.
