Therapy for ADHD
Evidence-Based Therapy Programs
Occupational therapy plays an important role in supporting children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), offering strategies that address their individual challenges. At Rocket Occupational Therapy, we provide specialised ADHD therapy in Melbourne to help individuals build skills, confidence, and independence.
Our team of experienced paediatric occupational therapists understands the complexities of ADHD and works closely with families to design personalised interventions. Using evidence-based methods and creative, engaging approaches, we aim to make a lasting difference in each child’s life.
How Rocket Health Services Supports Children with ADHD
At Rocket Occupational Therapy, we believe every child deserves the chance to thrive. Our holistic approach focuses on the whole child, not just the symptoms of ADHD. By creating a supportive, inclusive environment, we help children feel valued and capable. Through connection, collaboration, and innovation, we foster self-esteem, independence, and brighter futures.
To achieve this, we use a variety of practical strategies, such as:
-
Visual schedules and routines to guide children through daily tasks and increase independence.
-
Sensory regulation tools (like fidgets or movement breaks) to support attention and self-regulation.
-
Organisation and planning supports such as colour-coded folders, checklists, and time management tools.
-
Classroom and homework strategies, including breaking down tasks into smaller steps and recommending seating or equipment adjustments.
No two people with ADHD are alike, so our therapy is tailored to each person’s unique strengths and challenges. From the very first session, we prioritise building trust and understanding. Our interventions are meaningful, engaging, and family-centred, ensuring that individuals feel supported while learning strategies that make a real difference in everyday life.
What to expect
What to expect
At Rocket Health Services, we know that ADHD affects each child differently - which is why every therapy journey begins with understanding the whole person, not just the diagnosis. Our process is collaborative, strengths-based, and designed to empower both children and their families.
Here’s what you can expect from our ADHD therapy programs:
Comprehensive Initial Assessment
We start by exploring your child’s attention, sensory, emotional, and executive functioning skills through observation, discussion, and evidence-based screening tools. This helps us understand how ADHD impacts daily life and learning.
Individualised Therapy Plan
Parents and caregivers are active partners in therapy. We provide education, resources, and at-home strategies to ensure progress continues between sessions.
Engaging, Evidence-Based Sessions
Therapy sessions use creative, play-based, and hands-on approaches to build confidence and engagement. We integrate movement, sensory activities, and real-world strategies to strengthen focus and independence.
Family and School Collaboration
Parents, teachers, and caregivers play an essential role. We provide clear communication, progress updates, and practical tools that can be used across environments for consistent support.
Ongoing Progress Reviews
We regularly evaluate outcomes, celebrate achievements, and adapt goals as your child grows and gains new skills.
Our aim is to make therapy feel positive, empowering, and sustainable — helping children develop self-regulation, independence, and a sense of control in their everyday lives.
