ADHD Support at The Base Health — NSW

The Base Health lists sensory processing as a service area relevant to children experiencing attention difficulties. Sensory processing challenges often co-occur with attention concerns, as difficulties filtering or responding to sensory input can affect a child's ability to focus and regulate behaviour. According to its listing, The Base Health may address sensory-related factors that impact attention through occupational therapy approaches.

Sensory processing interventions typically involve structured activities designed to help children process and respond to sensory information more effectively. Examples might include work with sensory equipment such as weighted blankets or vests to support calming and focus, movement-based activities like balance beam or trampoline work to develop body awareness, and fine-motor tasks such as threading or scissor activities that require sustained attention. The Base Health may also incorporate environmental modifications—such as reducing visual clutter or adjusting lighting—to support concentration.

While occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder, they can work with children to address functional difficulties related to sensory regulation that may be affecting school performance, play, or daily routines. Families accessing services through NDIS funding (2025-26 arrangements) may be able to direct funding towards occupational therapy support. NDIS registration status for The Base Health has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot, so families should verify funding eligibility directly with the clinic.
