Ability Rehab in Ivanhoe East, VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services Ability Rehab offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often experience challenges with sensory processing, fine motor control, and handwriting—areas where occupational therapy can make a meaningful difference. At Ability Rehab in Ivanhoe East, our occupational therapists work with children to build foundational skills that support attention and self-regulation. Sensory processing work might include activities like using a sensory swing or weighted lap pad to help children feel more grounded and focused during learning tasks. Fine motor interventions could involve play-based activities such as threading, playdough manipulation, or scissor work that strengthen hand muscles and coordination. Handwriting support addresses the physical demands of writing, using strategies like pencil grip exercises and adaptive seating to reduce fatigue and frustration. These services work together to help children manage their bodies more effectively, which often translates to improved concentration and classroom participation. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, Ability Rehab is registered to support you in accessing these services. Our therapists collaborate with families and schools to ensure strategies are practical and consistent across environments.

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 occupational therapy help my child's ADHD symptoms?
Occupational therapy doesn't treat ADHD itself—only a medical professional can diagnose this condition. However, an OT can address the underlying difficulties that often accompany ADHD, such as sensory sensitivities, fine motor challenges, and handwriting struggles. By improving these skills, children often find it easier to concentrate and participate in daily activities.
How do I access Ability Rehab's services through the NDIS?
Ability Rehab is NDIS registered, which means we can provide services to eligible participants. If your child has an NDIS plan, you can request occupational therapy supports and direct funding to our clinic. We recommend discussing your child's specific needs with your NDIS planner to ensure therapy goals align with your plan.
What should I expect during the first appointment?
Your occupational therapist will conduct an initial assessment to understand your child's strengths, challenges, and daily routines. They'll observe how your child moves, handles fine motor tasks, and processes sensory information. This helps create a tailored therapy plan that addresses your family's priorities and goals.
