How soon will I see results?

Most parents notice small wins—like sitting through dinner—within 4–6 sessions. Larger gains, such as improved grades, typically appear after 3–4 months.

Is OT covered by insurance?

Yes. We provide ICD-10 codes and detailed invoices that are accepted by all major Indian insurers. Our front-desk team can pre-authorize your claim.

Can OT replace medication for ADHD?

OT complements medication; it does not replace it. We coordinate with your pediatrician to decide the best mix for your child.

What age groups do you treat?

We work with children aged 3–16 years.

How do I prepare my child for the first session?

Explain it as a “fun gym for your brain.” Let them wear comfortable clothes and bring a favorite snack for the break.

Do you offer online consultations?

Absolutely. Our secure Zoom sessions include live coaching and guided parent-child activities.

What does a typical OT session for ADHD look like?

Sessions are typically activity-based and goal-oriented. For a child, it might involve sensory gym activities, fine motor games, practicing dressing skills, or working through a visual schedule for a task. For an adolescent or adult, it might involve practicing planning a project, organizing materials, role-playing time management scenarios, or learning relaxation techniques. Sessions are designed to be engaging and geared towards practical skill development.

Occupational Therapist for ADHD: A Parent’s Guide to Evidence-Based Support

If your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, you have probably asked yourself: “Who can help turn daily battles over homework, bedtime, or mealtimes into smoother routines?” An Occupational Therapist for ADHD is a trained professional who guides children (and parents) toward practical, proven strategies that improve focus, self-regulation, and confidence. At Cadabams CDC, we offer parent-focused programmes that combine sensory integration, executive-function coaching, and family-centred education—so you feel supported, not overwhelmed.

Why Choose Occupational Therapy for ADHD?

How OT Helps Children with ADHD Thrive

Occupational therapy treats ADHD as a skills-gap rather than a label. We teach practical strategies that close the gap between what the brain wants to do and what the body actually does. Through play-based activities, kids learn how to:

Calm their bodies when excited
Filter distractions in noisy classrooms
Stick to a routine without constant reminders

Key Benefits: Focus, Organization & Daily Life Skills

Parents often tell us they see the biggest changes in the daily grind:

Morning routines no longer take 45 minutes
Homework battles shrink to 20 focused minutes
Playground confidence soars as kids join games without impulsive outbursts

Proven Evidence-Based Approaches

We combine sensory integration, executive-function coaching, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. These methods are recommended by the American Occupational Therapy Association and backed by peer-reviewed studies showing improved attention span and reduced hyperactivity, which are common symptoms of ADHD.

Comprehensive OT Programs for ADHD

Individualized Assessment Process

We start with a 90-minute parent interview and child observation. Standardized tools like the SPM-2 and BRIEF-2 give us a clear picture of sensory, motor, and executive-function needs through a thorough assessment for ADHD.

Sensory Integration Therapy

Swings, trampolines, and weighted blankets help regulate the nervous system. Over 8–12 sessions, children learn to:

Identify when they feel “too high” or “too low”
Use movement breaks to reset their engine

Executive Function & Organizational Skills Training

Color-coded planners, visual timers, and chunking strategies turn overwhelming tasks into bite-size pieces. Kids practice during therapy for ADHD and then use the same tools at school.

Fine & Gross Motor Skill Development

Poor handwriting or clumsy coordination often coexist with ADHD. We strengthen core muscles, refine finger control, and teach keyboarding shortcuts so classroom output matches cognitive ability.

Parent & Teacher Collaboration Plans

We set shared goals, provide classroom accommodation tips, and send monthly progress videos. Consistency across home and school accelerates gains with parental support for ADHD.
