Services Ability Action Australia offers for developmental delay
Ability Action Australia provides early intervention services designed to support children experiencing developmental delay across multiple areas of growth. Early intervention is most effective when started as early as possible, helping children build foundational skills in motor development, coordination, self-care abilities, and play participation. At Ability Action Australia, our occupational therapists work with children using practical, play-based activities tailored to each child's needs. Examples include fine-motor exercises such as threading, cutting, and drawing activities to strengthen hand control; gross-motor work using equipment like stepping stones and balance beams to develop coordination; and structured play routines to encourage social engagement and problem-solving. We also incorporate sensory strategies, such as weighted lap pads or fidget tools, to help children regulate their attention and behaviour during learning. As an NDIS-registered provider, Ability Action Australia can support families accessing early intervention funding through the scheme. Our therapists work collaboratively with families and other professionals to identify priorities and create meaningful goals that translate into everyday improvements at home and in the community.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs early intervention support?
If you've noticed your child is slower to reach developmental milestones (such as sitting, walking, or speaking), has difficulty with coordination, self-care skills, or play, an occupational therapy assessment can help. Ability Action Australia can evaluate your child's strengths and areas for support. Early intervention is most beneficial when started early, so discussing concerns with your GP or paediatrician is a good first step.
Can occupational therapy diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing difficulties. However, our therapists at Ability Action Australia can identify how developmental delay affects your child's everyday functioning and skills, and support their participation in daily activities. A paediatrician or psychologist can provide formal diagnosis if needed.
How does NDIS funding work with early intervention at your clinic?
If your child is NDIS-eligible, early intervention support can be funded through their plan. Ability Action Australia is NDIS-registered, meaning we can provide services under your child's funding allocation. We'll work with you to understand your plan and ensure therapy aligns with your goals. Costs vary based on individual plans and 2025-26 NDIS pricing arrangements.
