ADHD Support at Flourish OT — QLD

Flourish OT lists sensory processing as a service area relevant to children with 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, regulate behaviour, and engage in learning. According to its listing, Flourish OT may address sensory-related factors that impact attention through structured activities and environmental modifications.

Sensory-based interventions typically involve graded exposure to different sensory experiences designed to help children develop better regulation and focus. Examples of activities that occupational therapists commonly use in this area include work with sensory equipment such as weighted blankets or vests to provide calming input, movement-based activities like swinging or trampolining to support vestibular and proprioceptive development, and fine-motor tasks paired with sensory feedback to build concentration during tabletop work. Flourish OT may tailor these approaches based on each child's sensory profile and attention patterns.

Parents should note that occupational therapy cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional. If a child has confirmed ADHD or attention difficulties, therapy through Flourish OT may complement other supports. NDIS registration for this clinic has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot, so families should clarify funding eligibility and payment arrangements directly with the clinic. Costs and availability of services under NDIS funding arrangements for 2025-26 would need to be discussed individually.
