ADHD Support at Little Stepping Stones — Burwood East, VIC

Little Stepping Stones lists sensory processing as a service area that may support children experiencing attention difficulties. Sensory processing challenges often co-occur with attention concerns, as difficulties filtering or responding to sensory input can affect a child's ability to focus and engage in activities. According to its listing, the clinic addresses sensory-based needs through occupational therapy approaches.

Sensory processing interventions typically involve structured activities designed to help children organise and respond appropriately to sensory information. Examples of activities that Little Stepping Stones may incorporate include work with sensory equipment such as weighted blankets or lap pads to provide calming input, movement-based activities using swings or trampolines to support vestibular (balance and movement) processing, and fine-motor tasks involving textured materials or fidget tools to maintain engagement during learning. These interventions aim to create a foundation for better attention and participation in daily routines.

Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder; diagnosis requires medical or psychological assessment. If NDIS funding is being considered, Little Stepping Stones has not been confirmed as NDIS registered in the current directory snapshot, so families should verify registration status and funding eligibility directly with the clinic. Funding arrangements for 2025-26 may vary depending on individual circumstances.
