ADHD Support at Happy Kids Occupational Therapy — Across VIC

Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with sensory processing, which can affect their ability to focus, regulate emotions, and participate in daily activities. Happy Kids Occupational Therapy addresses these challenges through targeted sensory processing interventions designed to help children better understand and respond to sensory information. Our therapists use evidence-based strategies including sensory diet activities—such as weighted lap pads or compression vests during learning tasks—to improve concentration and self-regulation. We also incorporate movement-based interventions like controlled use of sensory swings or trampolines to help children organise their nervous system and improve body awareness. Additionally, Happy Kids Occupational Therapy may recommend fidget tools, textured materials, or structured sensory breaks to support sustained attention during school or home routines. These interventions work alongside other supports your child may be receiving. If you're accessing NDIS funding (2025-26), occupational therapy services may be covered under your plan; we recommend confirming your funding eligibility with your NDIS planner. Our therapists work collaboratively with families and schools to embed sensory strategies into everyday routines, supporting your child's participation and wellbeing.
