ADHD Support at On The Move Allied Health — NSW

On The Move Allied Health lists sensory processing as a service area that may support children experiencing attention difficulties. Sensory processing refers to how the nervous system receives, organises, and responds to sensory information from the environment. Children with attention challenges sometimes experience sensory sensitivities or seek sensory input in ways that affect their focus and regulation. According to its listing, the clinic may address this through tailored activities designed to support sensory regulation and attention.

Examples of interventions that occupational therapists typically use for sensory-based attention difficulties include weighted equipment work (such as weighted vests or lap pads to provide calming input), movement-based activities using equipment like therapy balls or balance boards to support body awareness, and structured sensory breaks using activities like deep pressure work or controlled movement sequences. On The Move Allied Health may also incorporate environmental modifications and activity grading to help children manage sensory input during learning or play.

It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder. If a child has not yet received a diagnosis, assessment by an appropriate medical or psychological professional is necessary. Families interested in exploring sensory-focused support may check whether On The Move Allied Health accepts NDIS funding, though NDIS registration has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Funding arrangements and eligibility vary depending on individual circumstances and plan details.
