ADHD Support at Thrive Occupational Therapy — Shepparton, VIC
Thrive Occupational Therapy in Shepparton, VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services Thrive Occupational Therapy offers for adhd
Children with ADHD and attention difficulties often experience challenges with sensory processing, fine motor control, and handwriting—areas where occupational therapy can make a meaningful difference. At Thrive Occupational Therapy in Shepparton, our therapists work with children to build skills and strategies that support better focus and engagement. Sensory processing work might include activities like using a sensory swing or weighted lap pad to help children regulate their nervous system and improve concentration during learning tasks. Fine motor interventions could involve play-based activities such as threading, playdough manipulation, or precision grip exercises that strengthen the hand muscles needed for writing and self-care tasks. Handwriting support focuses on developing the motor control, posture, and letter formation skills that many children with attention difficulties find challenging. These services can be funded through the NDIS (2025-26 pricing arrangements) if your child has an approved plan. While occupational therapy cannot diagnose ADHD, our therapists at Thrive Occupational Therapy collaborate with your child's medical team to address the functional difficulties that often accompany attention challenges, helping your child participate more successfully at school and home.

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 focus better at school?
Occupational therapy addresses the underlying skills that support attention and learning, such as sensory regulation, fine motor control, and postural stability. By working on these areas, children often find it easier to sit, listen, and engage with schoolwork. However, an OT cannot diagnose or treat ADHD itself—we work alongside your child's medical team to support functional participation.
How does Thrive Occupational Therapy work with NDIS funding?
If your child has an approved NDIS plan that includes occupational therapy supports, you can use those funds at Thrive Occupational Therapy in Shepparton. We recommend confirming our current NDIS registration status directly with the clinic, as this can affect how funding is managed. Our team can discuss funding options during your initial consultation.
What should I expect in the first session?
Your occupational therapist will gather information about your child's strengths, challenges, and daily routines. They'll observe how your child moves, plays, and engages with tasks. This helps identify which areas—like sensory processing, fine motor skills, or handwriting—would benefit most from therapy. A plan is then developed based on your child's specific needs and goals.
