Building Blocks Therapy in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services Building Blocks Therapy offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with attention regulation and impulse control, which can be supported through targeted occupational therapy. Building Blocks Therapy addresses two key areas that frequently overlap with attention difficulties: sensory processing and fine motor skills.
Sensory processing support helps children develop better body awareness and self-regulation. Activities such as weighted blanket use during transitions, obstacle course work to build proprioceptive input, and controlled sensory experiences can help calm an overactive nervous system or alert an under-responsive one. Fine motor interventions—including pencil grip training, threading activities, and hand strength exercises—support the sustained focus and coordination needed for classroom tasks and writing.
When children struggle with fine motor control, they often experience frustration during academic work, which can worsen attention difficulties. Building Blocks Therapy works collaboratively to identify which sensory and motor strategies support each child's individual needs. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing structures apply where eligible), though private sessions are also available. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose ADHD, but can assess how sensory and motor factors may be contributing to attention challenges and recommend practical strategies for home and school.

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 an occupational therapist diagnose ADHD?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD—this requires assessment by a paediatrician or psychologist. However, an OT can identify sensory processing and fine motor difficulties that may be contributing to attention challenges. Building Blocks Therapy works alongside other professionals to support your child's overall development and help with regulation and focus strategies.
How does sensory work help with attention difficulties?
Many children with attention difficulties have sensory regulation challenges. Sensory activities—like weighted equipment, movement breaks, or calming input—help settle an overactive nervous system or alert an under-responsive one. This improved regulation often makes it easier for children to focus on tasks. Building Blocks Therapy tailors sensory strategies to your child's specific needs.
