ADHD Support at Physio Inq — Across VIC

Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from occupational therapy support that addresses underlying sensory and motor challenges. At Physio Inq in Across, our occupational therapists work with sensory processing and handwriting—two areas that frequently impact children's ability to focus and engage at school and home. Through sensory processing work, we help children regulate their nervous system using tailored activities such as weighted blanket use during learning tasks, movement breaks on a therapy ball, or fine-motor coordination games that build body awareness. For handwriting, we address the motor planning and postural control needed for sustained pencil work, using strategies like pencil grip training, hand-strengthening exercises, and adaptive writing tools. These interventions can reduce frustration during schoolwork and improve attention span. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD, we support children's functional abilities in ways that complement other supports. Many families access Physio Inq's services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing structures apply where eligible), though we also work with families managing costs privately. Our approach recognises that attention difficulties often involve sensory-motor components that respond well to targeted therapy.
