ADHD Support at NAPA Melbourne — Across VIC
NAPA Melbourne in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services NAPA Melbourne offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with attention regulation and sensory processing, which can impact their ability to focus, participate in daily activities, and manage their behaviour. NAPA Melbourne offers sensory processing support designed to help children develop better self-regulation and attention skills through tailored activities. Sensory interventions might include using weighted blankets or vests to provide calming input, engaging in movement-based activities like trampoline work or obstacle courses to help organise the nervous system, and fine-motor activities such as threading, cutting, or construction play that build focus and hand-eye coordination. These strategies help children recognise their sensory needs and develop tools to manage their attention in school and home environments. At NAPA Melbourne, occupational therapists work collaboratively with families to identify which sensory approaches support each child's unique profile. While occupational therapy cannot diagnose ADHD, it can address the underlying sensory and motor factors that may contribute to attention difficulties. Families may be eligible for NDIS funding (2025–26) to support these services, depending on their circumstances and plan approval.

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 occupational therapy help my child's ADHD?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD, but they can address sensory processing and self-regulation difficulties that often accompany attention challenges. NAPA Melbourne focuses on practical strategies—such as sensory activities and movement breaks—that help children manage their attention and behaviour in everyday settings like school and home.
What does a sensory processing session look like at NAPA Melbourne?
Sessions are tailored to your child's needs and might include movement activities, fine-motor tasks, or use of sensory tools like weighted equipment. The occupational therapist observes how your child responds and adjusts activities to support better focus and self-regulation. Sessions typically involve play-based learning that feels engaging rather than clinical.
Can we access NAPA Melbourne's services through the NDIS?
Funding eligibility depends on your child's NDIS plan and approval. We recommend checking your plan details and contacting NAPA Melbourne directly to discuss your circumstances and what support may be available under 2025–26 NDIS arrangements.
