ADHD Support at Wonder Kids OT — Across VIC

Children with ADHD often experience difficulties with attention regulation and sensory processing, which can impact their ability to focus, organise themselves, and participate in daily activities. Wonder Kids OT supports these challenges through sensory processing interventions tailored to each child's needs. Sensory activities help children develop better body awareness and self-regulation, making it easier to concentrate and manage impulses. At Wonder Kids OT in Across, our occupational therapists might use strategies such as weighted blankets or vests to provide calming input, movement-based activities like jumping on a trampoline or using a sensory swing to help discharge excess energy, or fine-motor tasks combined with fidget tools to support sustained attention during learning. These interventions work alongside environmental modifications—such as reducing visual clutter or creating quiet spaces—to help children thrive. While occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD, they can identify sensory processing patterns that may be contributing to attention difficulties and develop strategies to address them. Families may be eligible for NDIS funding to support these services under the 2025-26 funding arrangements, though registration status should be confirmed directly with Wonder Kids OT.
