Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy offers for adhd
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 Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy, our therapists work with children to build skills and strategies that support better focus and engagement in daily activities.
Sensory processing support helps children regulate their nervous system, which can improve attention and reduce restlessness. We might use activities like weighted lap pads during learning tasks, sensory circuits (movement sequences combining jumping, pushing, and balancing), or fidget tools tailored to each child's needs. Fine motor work strengthens the small muscles needed for writing and self-care tasks, often through play-based activities like threading, cutting practice, or building with construction materials. Handwriting intervention focuses on pencil grip, letter formation, and writing stamina—essential for school success.
Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy can support your child whether you're accessing NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing applies) or exploring other payment options. Our therapists work collaboratively with families to identify which areas matter most for your child's participation at home, school, and in the community. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose ADHD, but we can address the functional difficulties that often accompany it.

About adhd
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a developmental difference that affects attention, activity level, and impulse control. In Australia, ADHD is diagnosed by a paediatrician, psychiatrist, or psychologist, often after a family or school notices ongoing differences in attention, behaviour, or self-regulation across multiple settings.

Common questions
Can an occupational therapist diagnose ADHD?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD—that requires assessment by a medical professional or psychologist. However, our therapists at Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy can identify and address the functional challenges your child experiences, such as difficulties with attention, sensory regulation, fine motor skills, and handwriting. We work alongside other professionals involved in your child's care.
How long does occupational therapy typically take to show results?
Progress varies depending on your child's needs and consistency of practice. Some children notice improvements in focus or handwriting within a few weeks, whilst others benefit from longer-term support. Our therapists will discuss realistic timeframes during your initial appointment and work with you to set meaningful goals that matter for your child's daily life.
Do you accept NDIS funding?
We recommend contacting Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy directly to confirm current NDIS registration status and funding arrangements for 2025-26. We can also discuss alternative payment options if you're not NDIS-eligible. Our team will help you understand what's available for your family.
