ADHD Support at GoldilOTs — Bendigo, VIC
GoldilOTs in Bendigo, VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services GoldilOTs offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often experience challenges with sensory processing, fine motor control, and handwriting—areas where occupational therapy can make a meaningful difference. At GoldilOTs in Bendigo, our occupational therapists work with children to build skills and confidence across these interconnected areas. Sensory processing support helps children regulate their responses to stimuli, which can improve focus and reduce fidgeting; this might include activities like using a sensory swing, working with textured materials, or engaging in heavy work activities. Fine motor interventions strengthen hand muscles and coordination needed for daily tasks—threading beads, using tweezers, or manipulating small objects are examples. Handwriting support addresses pencil grip, letter formation, and writing stamina, often using multi-sensory approaches that keep children engaged. These services work together because improved sensory regulation and motor control can support better attention and task completion. Many families access GoldilOTs through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing applies), which can cover occupational therapy sessions tailored to your child's needs. Our therapists collaborate with families and schools to ensure strategies generalise beyond the clinic.

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—that requires a medical assessment from a paediatrician or psychologist. However, OTs at GoldilOTs can identify and support the underlying sensory, motor, and attention-related difficulties that often accompany ADHD, helping your child develop practical coping strategies and skills.
How does sensory work help a child who struggles to focus?
When children's sensory systems are dysregulated, it's harder to concentrate. Sensory activities—like using weighted equipment, swinging, or tactile play—help calm or energise the nervous system depending on what your child needs. This improved regulation often translates to better attention and behaviour during learning and daily routines.
Is GoldilOTs registered for NDIS funding?
Yes, GoldilOTs is NDIS registered. If your child has an NDIS plan, you can use your funding to access our occupational therapy services. We recommend checking your plan details and contacting us to discuss how we can support your child's goals.
