ADHD Support at Peninsula Kids OT — Across VIC

Children with ADHD often experience challenges with sensory processing and fine motor skills, which can impact their ability to focus, organise tasks, and participate in daily activities. Peninsula Kids OT addresses these interconnected areas through targeted interventions. Sensory processing support helps children regulate their nervous system—for example, using weighted blankets or sensory swings during sessions to improve body awareness and calm an overactive system, or providing fidget tools and movement breaks to support sustained attention. Fine motor work strengthens the hand control and coordination needed for writing, typing, and self-care tasks that many children with attention difficulties find frustrating. Peninsula Kids OT might incorporate activities like threading beads, scissor skills practice, or handwriting exercises that build confidence alongside motor development. These services work together: improved sensory regulation often enhances a child's capacity to concentrate on fine motor tasks. If your child is NDIS-registered, Peninsula Kids OT is listed as an NDIS service provider, meaning sessions may be funded through your child's plan for the 2025-26 financial year. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose ADHD, but they can identify how sensory and motor difficulties are affecting your child's function and design strategies to support participation at home and school.
