ADHD Support at Propel Physiotherapy — Across VIC

Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often experience challenges with fine motor control, organisation, and task initiation—areas where occupational therapy can provide meaningful support. At Propel Physiotherapy, our occupational therapists work with handwriting skills, which is frequently affected in children with attention difficulties. Through targeted interventions, we help children develop the motor planning and sustained focus needed for writing tasks. For example, we might use multi-sensory handwriting activities that incorporate tactile feedback, such as writing in sand or textured materials to improve letter formation and hand strength. We also employ structured practice routines with visual supports and movement breaks to help children maintain attention during writing sessions. Additionally, Propel Physiotherapy can address postural control and fine motor coordination through graded activities that build confidence and independence. While occupational therapy cannot diagnose ADHD, our therapists work collaboratively with families and other professionals to support children's functional skills. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), which can help make therapy more accessible.
