ADHD Support at Connect2Care — Caulfield, VIC

Connect2Care lists sensory processing support as a service that may be relevant for children with attention difficulties. Sensory processing challenges often co-occur with attention concerns, as difficulties filtering or organising sensory information can affect a child's ability to focus and regulate behaviour. According to its listing, the clinic offers sensory-based interventions that aim to help children better process and respond to sensory input from their environment.

Sensory processing work typically involves activities designed to provide controlled sensory experiences. Examples listed by Connect2Care may include use of sensory equipment such as weighted blankets or compression tools to support calming and body awareness, movement-based activities like balance or coordination exercises to improve proprioceptive feedback, and environmental modifications to reduce sensory distractions during learning or play. These interventions are based on the principle that improved sensory organisation can support attention and self-regulation.

Children with attention difficulties may access occupational therapy services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements apply where eligible). Parents considering Connect2Care should note that an occupational therapist cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires assessment by a medical professional or psychologist. The clinic's role, where listed, is to support functional skills and participation once a diagnosis or concern has been identified by another health provider.
