What is the difference between OT and behavioural therapy for ADHD?

ADHD & Attention Difficulties

OT addresses the sensory, motor, and functional skill deficits underlying ADHD difficulties, why the child cannot sit still, why handwriting is messy, why they lose belongings. Behavioural therapy (CBT or parent training) targets thought patterns, coping strategies, and behaviour management techniques. OT fixes the foundation. Behavioural therapy builds the framework on top.
