ADHD Support at Capability Support Services — NSW

Capability Support Services lists sensory processing as a service area that may support children with attention difficulties. Sensory processing challenges often co-occur with ADHD, as some children struggle to filter, organise, or respond appropriately to sensory information from their environment, which can affect focus and behaviour. According to its listing, the clinic may use sensory-based interventions to help children develop better awareness and regulation of sensory input. Examples of activities that occupational therapists typically employ include work with sensory equipment such as weighted blankets or vests to provide calming input, structured movement activities like obstacle courses or trampoline work to help children organise their bodies in space, and environmental modifications such as reducing visual or auditory distractions in learning areas. Capability Support Services may also incorporate fine-motor and coordination exercises that support attention through purposeful, engaging activities. It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder; diagnosis remains the role of medical professionals. Families interested in accessing support through NDIS funding should be aware that NDIS registration for Capability Support Services has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents are encouraged to contact the clinic directly to discuss their child's needs, available services, and any funding arrangements for the 2025-26 financial year.
