ADHD Support at VMCH — Across VIC
VMCH in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for adhd.
Services VMCH offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often experience challenges with sensory processing, fine motor control, and attention regulation—areas where occupational therapy can provide meaningful support. At VMCH, our occupational therapists work with children to develop strategies that help them manage sensory input, improve focus, and build confidence in everyday tasks.
Our sensory processing support helps children understand and respond better to sensory information. For example, we might use sensory circuits—structured movement activities involving balance beams, trampolines, or weighted equipment—to help a child regulate their nervous system before learning tasks. Fine motor interventions at VMCH focus on strengthening hand control and coordination; activities might include threading, playdough manipulation, or precision games that build the skills needed for writing and self-care. Handwriting support addresses the motor planning and sustained attention required for writing, using graded exercises and adaptive strategies tailored to each child's needs.
These services work together to support children's participation at home, school, and in the community. If your child has an NDIS plan for 2025-26, occupational therapy may be a funded support. VMCH is NDIS registered, making it straightforward to access these services. An initial consultation can help determine which areas would benefit your child most.

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 with ADHD focus better at school?
Occupational therapy doesn't treat ADHD itself, but it can support the underlying skills that affect attention and learning. VMCH therapists work on sensory regulation, fine motor control, and task organisation strategies. For example, a child might learn movement breaks or fidget tools that help them concentrate better during lessons. These practical strategies often make a real difference in the classroom.
How do I access VMCH's services if my child has an NDIS plan?
VMCH is NDIS registered, so if occupational therapy is listed in your child's 2025-26 plan, you can book directly with us. We'll work with you to understand your plan's goals and how our services—sensory processing, fine motor, and handwriting support—can help. Contact us to discuss your child's needs and confirm funding arrangements.
What should I expect in the first appointment at VMCH?
Your first visit includes a conversation about your child's strengths, challenges, and what matters most to your family. The therapist observes how your child moves, plays, and engages with tasks. This helps identify which services—sensory, fine motor, or handwriting—would be most helpful. You'll then work together to plan an approach that fits your child and your goals.
