ADHD Support at Pinarc Disability — Ballarat, VIC

Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from targeted occupational therapy that addresses underlying sensory and motor challenges. At Pinarc Disability in Ballarat, our occupational therapists work with sensory processing and fine motor skills—two areas that frequently impact focus and self-regulation. Sensory processing support might include activities like using a sensory swing or weighted lap pad to help calm an overactive nervous system, or movement breaks with resistance activities to improve body awareness. Fine motor work, such as threading, scissor control exercises, or handwriting practice, can reduce the physical frustration that sometimes accompanies attention difficulties. These interventions help children develop better self-regulation tools and reduce barriers to learning and participation. Pinarc Disability can discuss how NDIS funding (2025-26) may support these services for eligible children. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or attention disorders—this requires assessment by a medical professional—but we can address the underlying sensory and motor factors that may be contributing to your child's difficulties.
