ADHD Support at Natalie B Paediatric Occupational Therapy — VIC

Natalie B Paediatric Occupational Therapy lists sensory processing and fine motor support as services offered to children. For children with attention difficulties, sensory processing work typically focuses on helping the nervous system respond appropriately to everyday sensations, which can support sustained focus and self-regulation. This might include activities such as weighted blanket or lap pad use during learning tasks, or movement-based activities like trampolining or obstacle courses designed to organise sensory input. Fine motor skill development is also commonly addressed, as difficulties with pencil grip, handwriting control, or scissor use can create frustration that impacts attention and classroom participation. Interventions might involve structured hand strength exercises, tripod grip practice during writing activities, or manipulation tasks using small objects and tools.

According to its listing, Natalie B Paediatric Occupational Therapy offers these services to support functional participation in daily activities. Parents should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD or sensory processing disorder; diagnosis remains a medical or psychological role. For families accessing NDIS funding in 2025-26, it is important to confirm whether the clinic has current NDIS registration, as this has not been confirmed in the directory snapshot. Families are encouraged to contact the clinic directly to discuss eligibility, funding arrangements, and how these listed services might align with their child's specific needs.
