ADHD

Helping your child thrive with attention challenges

At iThrive Health, we support children who experience difficulties with focus, attention, and self-regulation, whether they have an ADHD diagnosis or not. Our paediatric occupational therapists take a neuroaffirming approach that celebrates each child’s unique strengths while helping them build practical skills for daily life. We see ADHD not as a deficit, but as a different way of thinking, often accompanied by creativity, energy, and big-picture thinking. Our goal is to help each child feel more capable, confident, and in control of their world.

Why your child might need attention support

When a child finds it hard to concentrate, regulate emotions, or manage impulsive behaviours, it can impact how they learn, connect with peers, and feel about themselves. Tasks at school may be left unfinished, social relationships may feel difficult to navigate, and their self-esteem may suffer over time. These challenges often extend beyond the classroom, placing extra pressure on families as they manage behaviours at home and seek support within school systems.

Comprehensive assessments

To fully understand your child’s needs, we begin with a detailed assessment process. This includes exploring their attention span, sensory responses, emotional regulation, and executive functioning skills. We also gather input from home and school settings to build a complete picture. From here, we develop an individualised therapy plan that supports your child’s everyday success and helps them feel more secure and understood across all areas of life.

Effective interventions

Therapy at iThrive Health is engaging, structured, and tailored to each child. Through playful yet purposeful activities, we help children strengthen their ability to focus, manage big emotions, and plan or organise their tasks. For children who struggle with impulsivity or restlessness, we introduce self-regulation strategies to help them feel calmer and more in control. These sessions take place in our sensory-rich clinic, designed to support focus and comfort with swings, climbing equipment, and calming spaces that adapt to each child’s needs.

How we can help

Beyond therapy sessions, we support families with practical strategies for home and school. Our team can assist with NDIS applications and provide advocacy to ensure children have access to the necessary tools and adjustments. Above all, we offer care that is affirming, inclusive, and rooted in understanding. You don’t need to wait for a diagnosis to seek support, early intervention can make a lasting difference, and we’re here to help your child every step of the way.
