ADHD Support at Melbourne Therapy — Across VIC

Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often experience challenges with sensory processing, fine motor control, and handwriting—areas where occupational therapy can make a meaningful difference. At Melbourne Therapy, our occupational therapists work with these interconnected difficulties to help children develop better focus, coordination, and confidence. Sensory processing support might include activities like using weighted blankets or fidget tools to help regulate attention, or movement breaks on a therapy ball to improve body awareness before learning tasks. Fine motor work addresses the hand strength and coordination needed for writing and self-care, through activities such as threading, scissor practice, and grip-strengthening exercises. Handwriting intervention combines these skills, helping children develop the motor control and sustained attention required for writing tasks. Many families access Melbourne Therapy's services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), which can support individualised therapy plans. Our therapists work collaboratively with families and schools to embed strategies into everyday routines, recognising that attention difficulties often improve when sensory and motor foundations are strengthened.
