ADHD Support at The Speech & OT Centre — NSW

The Speech & OT Centre lists sensory processing and fine motor services among its offerings, which are areas commonly addressed in occupational therapy support for children with attention difficulties. Sensory processing difficulties often co-occur with attention challenges, as children may struggle to filter or organise sensory information from their environment, making concentration harder. The clinic's sensory processing service may involve activities such as use of weighted equipment (like weighted vests or lap pads), sensory motor activities in structured play, or environmental modifications to reduce distractions. Fine motor difficulties can also affect a child's ability to engage in classroom tasks and self-care routines, impacting overall attention and participation. The Speech & OT Centre may address fine motor skills through targeted exercises and activities designed to build hand strength and coordination. It is important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or other neurodevelopmental conditions; however, they can support children by addressing underlying sensory and motor factors that may be contributing to attention or engagement difficulties. Families interested in accessing these services should be aware that NDIS registration for The Speech & OT Centre has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. For those with NDIS plans, it is recommended to verify funding eligibility and provider registration status directly with the clinic or the NDIA before arranging services.
