ADHD Support at Physio Inq — NSW

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, a child who is under-responsive may benefit from activities involving movement and proprioceptive input (pressure through joints), whilst a child who is over-responsive may need calmer, more regulated sensory experiences. Physio Inq's listing indicates the clinic may use strategies such as movement breaks using equipment like therapy balls or weighted items, or structured sensory activities designed to help a child's brain filter and organise incoming information more effectively. Fine motor interventions often support attention by building hand strength and control needed for writing, drawing, and self-care tasks; examples include pencil grip work, threading activities, or hand-strengthening exercises. When attention difficulties co-occur with coordination challenges, addressing fine motor skills can reduce frustration and improve engagement in learning tasks. Children with ADHD or attention concerns may access occupational therapy through NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year if they have an approved plan. It is important to note that an occupational therapist cannot diagnose ADHD, autism, or sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical doctor or psychologist. Physio Inq's role, according to its listing, would be to support functional skills and participation once a diagnosis has been established elsewhere.
