ADHD Support at Directive Therapy — Melbourne, VIC

Directive Therapy lists sensory processing and fine motor services on its directory profile. For children with ADHD and attention difficulties, sensory processing support may address how a child's nervous system responds to environmental input—such as difficulty filtering background noise, seeking movement input, or struggling with certain textures. Interventions listed by the clinic might include activities like weighted equipment use during tabletop tasks to improve focus, or movement-based activities designed to help regulate arousal levels before learning. Fine motor services are also listed, as difficulties with pencil grip, handwriting speed, or coordination can compound attention challenges in classroom and home settings. Directive Therapy may offer fine motor exercises such as threading activities, scissor work, or keyboard skills training to build the underlying motor control that supports sustained attention during academic tasks.

Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder; diagnosis remains a medical role. NDIS registration for Directive Therapy has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Families interested in NDIS-funded therapy should confirm funding eligibility and provider registration directly with the clinic. Session costs and availability may vary; families are encouraged to contact Directive Therapy directly to discuss pricing and whether services align with their child's needs.
