ADHD Support at NSPOT — NSW

Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from occupational therapy support targeting fine motor skills, which can be affected by coordination challenges, impulsivity, or difficulty sustaining focus during precision tasks. NSPOT lists fine motor services that may address activities such as handwriting practice with adaptive grips or positioning strategies, threading and bead work to build hand strength and dexterity, and scissor skills training through craft-based activities. These interventions typically aim to improve the motor control and hand-eye coordination that underpin school readiness and daily living tasks. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose ADHD, but NSPOT's fine motor focus may support children who experience secondary coordination difficulties alongside attention concerns. Families accessing NSPOT should note that NDIS registration has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. For those with NDIS plans, funding eligibility and support coordination would need to be discussed directly with the clinic. The 2025-26 NDIS pricing arrangements may apply if the clinic is later confirmed as registered. Parents considering NSPOT for fine motor support should clarify the clinic's experience with attention-related presentations and how sessions are structured to maintain engagement.
