Services The Speech & OT Centre offers for adhd
The Speech & OT Centre lists sensory processing support as a service that may be relevant for 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 in everyday settings. According to its listing, the clinic offers sensory-based interventions that aim to help children process and respond to sensory information more effectively.
Sensory processing work typically involves structured activities designed to provide appropriate sensory input and help children develop better awareness and control. Examples of interventions the clinic may use include work with sensory equipment such as weighted blankets or vests to provide calming input, use of movement-based activities like balance board or trampoline work to support body awareness, and fine-motor activities involving different textures and resistance levels to build hand strength and coordination. The Speech & OT Centre may also incorporate visual supports and environmental modifications to reduce sensory distractions during learning or play.
Funding for occupational therapy services varies depending on individual circumstances. Families may explore options including private payment, health insurance rebates, or NDIS support where eligible. NDIS registration status for The Speech & OT Centre has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot, so families should contact the clinic directly to discuss available funding pathways and any out-of-pocket costs for 2025-26.

About adhd
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a developmental difference that affects attention, activity level, and impulse control. In Australia, ADHD is diagnosed by a paediatrician, psychiatrist, or psychologist, often after a family or school notices ongoing differences in attention, behaviour, or self-regulation across multiple settings.

Common questions
Can an occupational therapist diagnose ADHD or attention difficulties?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or other neurodevelopmental conditions—this requires assessment by a paediatrician, psychologist, or psychiatrist. However, an OT can assess how sensory processing or motor skills may be affecting a child's ability to concentrate and participate in daily activities, and can support development in these areas.
How do sensory activities help a child who struggles to focus?
When sensory processing is difficult, a child may become overwhelmed or under-stimulated, making concentration harder. Sensory activities help the nervous system regulate more effectively. The Speech & OT Centre may use structured sensory input—such as movement, touch, or proprioceptive activities—to help children feel calmer and more alert, which can support better attention during learning and play.
Does The Speech & OT Centre accept NDIS funding?
NDIS registration status for The Speech & OT Centre has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Families should contact the clinic directly to ask about accepted funding sources, including NDIS, private health insurance, or private payment options available for 2025-26.
