Services Ability Action Australia offers for fine motor delay
Ability Action Australia provides early intervention services across NSW to support children experiencing fine motor skills delay. Early intervention is crucial during the developmental years, as it helps children build the foundational strength, coordination, and control needed for everyday tasks like writing, fastening buttons, and using cutlery. At Ability Action Australia, our occupational therapists work with children through targeted activities designed to improve hand strength and dexterity. Examples include threading beads and manipulating small objects to build finger control, using adaptive scissors and pencil grips to develop proper grasp patterns, and engaging in play-based activities that naturally encourage hand-eye coordination. We also incorporate sensory experiences, such as playdough manipulation and textured material exploration, which support motor planning and body awareness. For families accessing NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, early intervention services can be incorporated into individualised plans to address fine motor goals. Ability Action Australia is NDIS registered, making it straightforward for eligible families to access these services with their funding. Early intervention through occupational therapy can help children develop confidence and independence in self-care and learning activities.

About fine motor delay
Fine motor skills are the small, precise movements children use with their hands and fingers for play, self-care, and school. A fine motor skills delay describes when a child is taking longer than expected to develop these skills.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor skills delay?
Signs may include difficulty holding a pencil, struggling with buttons or zips, messy eating, or reluctance to engage in drawing or writing activities. An occupational therapist at Ability Action Australia can assess your child's skills and discuss observations with you. Note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental coordination disorder, but can identify areas where support would be beneficial.
Can I access Ability Action Australia's services through NDIS funding?
Yes, Ability Action Australia is NDIS registered. If your child is eligible for NDIS support, early intervention occupational therapy services can be included in your plan for the 2025-26 financial year and beyond. We recommend discussing your child's fine motor goals with your NDIS planner to ensure appropriate funding allocation.
How long does it take to see improvement in fine motor skills?
Every child develops at their own pace. Improvement depends on factors like your child's age, the extent of delay, and consistency with activities at home and in therapy. Ability Action Australia will work with you to set realistic goals and monitor progress over time, adjusting the approach as needed.
