ADHD Support at Developmental Paediatrics — NSW

Developmental Paediatrics lists ADHD support as one of its services. Occupational therapy for children with attention difficulties typically focuses on building skills that support focus, organisation, and self-regulation in everyday settings. According to the clinic's listing, interventions may include sensory-based activities designed to help children manage their arousal levels—for example, using weighted blankets or vests during learning tasks, or incorporating movement breaks with items like therapy balls or balance boards. Fine motor and coordination work may also feature, as difficulties with pencil control or hand strength can compound attention challenges. Visual supports such as picture schedules, task checklists, and colour-coded organisers are commonly used to help children follow multi-step instructions and manage transitions between activities.

Developmental Paediatrics may also work on executive function skills—planning, prioritising, and breaking tasks into manageable steps—through structured play and real-world practice. Sessions often involve collaboration with families to identify strategies that work at home and school. Families accessing NDIS funding (2025-26) may be able to direct therapy costs toward occupational therapy supports, though Developmental Paediatrics' NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents considering the clinic should verify funding eligibility and registration directly with the service.
