ADHD Support at Physio Inq — QLD

Physio Inq lists sensory processing and fine motor services, both of which are commonly used to support children experiencing attention and focus difficulties. Sensory processing work typically addresses how a child's nervous system responds to input from their environment—for example, some children may seek intense sensory experiences (such as jumping, spinning, or deep pressure activities) to help regulate attention, whilst others may be overwhelmed by sensory input and struggle to concentrate. Interventions listed by Physio Inq in this area may include activities such as use of sensory equipment, movement breaks, or environmental modifications to reduce distractions. Fine motor skill development is also relevant, as difficulties with pencil grip, hand strength, or coordination can create frustration during learning tasks and affect a child's ability to sustain attention on schoolwork or self-care activities. The clinic lists fine motor interventions that may include hand strengthening exercises, tripod grip practice, or scissor skills work. Children with attention difficulties may be eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year to access occupational therapy support, depending on their plan. Parents considering Physio Inq should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing difficulties—diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional—but therapy can support functional skills and participation once a diagnosis has been made.
