ADHD Support at Fields Occupational Therapy — QLD

Fields Occupational Therapy lists sensory processing support as a service offering that may be relevant for children experiencing attention difficulties. Sensory processing challenges often co-occur with attention concerns, as difficulties filtering or responding to sensory input can affect a child's ability to concentrate and engage in activities. According to its listing, the clinic addresses sensory-related needs through occupational therapy approaches.

Sensory processing interventions typically involve structured activities designed to help children organise and respond appropriately to sensory information. Examples of activities that occupational therapists commonly use include work with sensory equipment such as weighted blankets or vests to provide calming input, movement-based activities using items like therapy balls or balance boards to support body awareness, and fine-motor tasks involving textured materials or fidget tools to maintain focus during table-top work. Fields Occupational Therapy may tailor these approaches to individual children's sensory profiles.

Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD, autism, or sensory processing disorder—diagnosis remains the role of medical professionals. However, an occupational therapist can work with a child on functional skills and sensory strategies once a diagnosis has been established. Families accessing services through NDIS funding in 2025-26 may be eligible to use their plan to support occupational therapy sessions. NDIS registration for Fields Occupational Therapy has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot, so families should verify funding eligibility directly with the clinic.
