Ballarat Psychology Clinic in Ballarat Central, VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services Ballarat Psychology Clinic offers for adhd
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from occupational therapy that addresses underlying sensory and motor challenges. At Ballarat Psychology Clinic in Ballarat Central, our occupational therapists work with sensory processing and fine motor skills to support improved focus and self-regulation. Sensory processing interventions might include activities like using a sensory swing or weighted blanket to help calm an overactive nervous system, or movement breaks with resistance activities to improve body awareness. Fine motor work—such as threading activities, scissor skills practice, or handwriting exercises—can reduce frustration during schoolwork and build confidence. These services help children develop the foundational skills that support attention and participation in daily activities. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), though eligibility varies. Ballarat Psychology Clinic can discuss funding options during your initial consultation. Our therapists work collaboratively with families and schools to create practical strategies that translate into real improvements at home and in the classroom.

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 diagnose ADHD?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD—this requires assessment by a medical professional or psychologist. However, our team at Ballarat Psychology Clinic can identify sensory and motor difficulties that may be contributing to attention challenges, and we work alongside your child's other healthcare providers to support their overall development and function.
How long does it take to see improvements?
Every child progresses differently. Some families notice changes in focus or behaviour within a few weeks, while others see gradual improvements over months. Ballarat Psychology Clinic recommends consistent engagement with recommended strategies at home and school. Your therapist will regularly review progress and adjust the approach to suit your child's needs.
Will NDIS cover occupational therapy at Ballarat Psychology Clinic?
NDIS eligibility depends on your individual circumstances and plan. Ballarat Psychology Clinic can discuss funding options with you, including NDIS arrangements for 2025-26. We recommend contacting us to explore what support may be available for your child's therapy needs.
