ADHD Support at Katie Stokes Occupational Therapy — Across VIC

Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often experience challenges with sensory processing, which can affect their ability to focus, regulate emotions, and participate in daily activities. Katie Stokes Occupational Therapy addresses these overlapping areas through tailored sensory processing support. Sensory integration work helps children develop better awareness of their body in space and improve self-regulation. For example, activities using sensory swings or weighted blankets can help calm an overactive nervous system, whilst structured movement breaks with resistance activities support focus during learning tasks. Katie Stokes Occupational Therapy also incorporates visual supports and environmental modifications—such as reducing visual clutter or using fidget tools—to help children manage attention demands more effectively. These interventions work alongside other strategies to support participation at home, school, and in the community. If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding (2025-26), our team can discuss how therapy costs might be covered. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing difficulties; however, we can assess functional challenges and provide evidence-based support to help your child thrive.
