Services Stellar Kids OT offers for adhd
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often benefit from targeted occupational therapy that addresses underlying sensory and motor challenges. At Stellar Kids OT in Ballarat, sensory processing support helps children regulate their nervous system, improving focus and impulse control. For example, activities using weighted equipment or sensory swings can help calm an overactive system, whilst structured sensory circuits provide organised input that supports sustained attention. Fine motor intervention complements this by building the hand strength and coordination needed for writing, drawing, and self-care tasks—areas where children with attention difficulties frequently struggle. Stellar Kids OT uses fine motor activities such as threading, scissor work, and pencil grip exercises to develop these skills in engaging ways. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing structures apply), though it's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or other conditions—rather, we work with your child's existing diagnosis to address functional difficulties. Our holistic approach recognises that sensory regulation and motor confidence often underpin improved attention and participation at home and school.

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 symptoms?
Occupational therapy doesn't treat ADHD itself, as OTs cannot diagnose this condition. However, Stellar Kids OT can address the underlying sensory and motor difficulties that often accompany ADHD, such as poor impulse control, fidgeting, or difficulty with fine motor tasks. By improving regulation and motor skills, many children find it easier to focus and participate in daily activities.
How does sensory processing support help with attention?
Children with attention difficulties often have sensory regulation challenges—they may be over-stimulated or under-stimulated, making focus difficult. Sensory activities like weighted equipment use or movement breaks help organise the nervous system, creating a calm, alert state ideal for learning and attention. Stellar Kids OT tailors these interventions to your child's specific sensory needs.
Is occupational therapy covered by NDIS?
Many families access occupational therapy through NDIS funding, though eligibility and plan allocations vary. Stellar Kids OT can discuss funding options with you. We recommend checking your NDIS plan details or contacting the NDIA to understand what supports are available for your child's needs.
