ADHD Support at Physio Inq — NSW

Physio Inq lists sensory processing and handwriting support among its services, both of which are commonly addressed in occupational therapy for children with attention difficulties. Sensory processing interventions typically aim to help children regulate their responses to sensory input, which can support sustained attention and reduce fidgeting or distraction. Examples might include structured sensory activities such as weighted equipment use, movement-based tasks on therapy equipment, or environmental modifications to reduce sensory overwhelm. Handwriting difficulties often co-occur with attention challenges, as fine-motor coordination and pencil control require sustained focus. Physio Inq's handwriting support may involve exercises to build hand strength, posture assessment, and strategies to make writing tasks less effortful. Children with attention difficulties may benefit from breaking tasks into smaller steps, using adapted grips, or practising in a low-distraction setting. It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or attention disorders; diagnosis remains a medical role. However, targeted support with sensory regulation and motor skills may help reduce barriers to participation in learning and daily activities. Families accessing Physio Inq may be eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025-26 pricing arrangements, depending on their plan and goals, though funding eligibility should be confirmed directly with the clinic and the NDIA.
