ADHD Support at Everyday Independence — Across VIC

Children with ADHD often experience challenges with attention regulation, impulse control, and sensory processing, which can impact their ability to focus in school and manage daily routines. At Everyday Independence, our occupational therapists address sensory processing difficulties that frequently co-occur with attention challenges. Through sensory-based interventions, we help children develop better body awareness and self-regulation skills. For example, we may use weighted equipment during tabletop activities to provide calming input that supports concentration, or incorporate movement breaks using sensory tools like therapy balls to help reset attention before learning tasks. Visual schedules and structured activity sequences are also tailored to support children who struggle with transitions and task initiation. While occupational therapy cannot diagnose ADHD, our team works collaboratively with families and other professionals to support the underlying sensory and motor skills that influence attention and behaviour. Everyday Independence can discuss funding options, including NDIS support where eligible under the 2025-26 funding arrangements, to help make therapy accessible for your family.
