ADHD Support at Little Stepping Stones — 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. Little Stepping Stones offers sensory processing support to help children develop better awareness of their body and environment, making it easier to concentrate and manage transitions. Our occupational therapists use tailored interventions such as weighted equipment activities (like weighted vests or lap pads during learning tasks), sensory motor circuits that combine movement and coordination challenges, and structured environmental modifications to reduce distractions. These approaches help children filter out unnecessary sensory information and respond more appropriately to their surroundings. Little Stepping Stones works with families to understand how sensory needs affect your child's attention and behaviour at home and school. While occupational therapy cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing difficulties, an OT assessment can identify how sensory factors may be contributing to attention challenges. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing arrangements), though eligibility varies. Our team can discuss funding options and support you in planning therapy that suits your child's needs.
