ADHD Support at Physio Inq — NSW

Physio Inq lists sensory processing as a service offered at the clinic. Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often experience challenges with sensory regulation—how their bodies process and respond to sensory information from their environment. According to its listing, the clinic may address these difficulties through sensory-based activities and environmental modifications.

Sensory processing support typically involves identifying which sensory inputs help a child focus or calm down, and which ones create distraction or overwhelm. Physio Inq may use strategies such as weighted equipment (weighted vests or lap pads) to provide calming proprioceptive input during learning or play activities, movement-based interventions like controlled swinging or trampolining to support vestibular regulation, and structured sensory breaks using items like fidget tools or textured materials to help redirect attention. These approaches aim to support a child's ability to filter out irrelevant sensory information and maintain focus on tasks.

It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional. However, an OT can work with a child's existing diagnosis to address functional difficulties related to sensory regulation and attention. Families accessing services through NDIS may be able to fund occupational therapy support, though Physio Inq's NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents are encouraged to contact the clinic directly to discuss funding options and how sensory support might fit their child's needs.
