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 focuses on identifying and addressing delays in motor skills, self-care abilities, play development, and social participation during the critical early years when children's brains are most responsive to support. At Ability Action Australia, 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 to build hand strength and coordination; sensory activities like play with textured materials and movement experiences to support body awareness; and structured daily routines with visual supports to help children understand transitions and develop independence in self-care tasks like dressing and eating. Early intervention can be funded through the NDIS (2025-26), making these services accessible to eligible families. By starting therapy early, children often develop stronger foundations for learning, social connection, and everyday participation. Ability Action Australia's team works collaboratively with families and other professionals to ensure consistent support across home and community settings, maximising the benefits of intervention during these formative years.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has developmental delay, and can Ability Action Australia diagnose it?
Developmental delay may appear as slower progress in areas like movement, communication, play, or self-care compared to peers. Occupational therapists at Ability Action Australia cannot diagnose conditions like autism or cerebral palsy, but they can assess your child's functional abilities and identify areas where support may help. Your GP or paediatrician can provide formal diagnosis. An initial consultation can clarify whether occupational therapy is appropriate for your child.
Does the NDIS cover early intervention services at Ability Action Australia?
Yes, Ability Action Australia is NDIS registered. If your child is eligible for NDIS support, early intervention occupational therapy services may be funded through your plan. NDIS funding arrangements for 2025-26 support eligible children under school age. Contact Ability Action Australia directly to discuss your child's eligibility and how NDIS funding can be applied to their services.
How long does early intervention take, and when will I see progress?
Early intervention duration varies depending on your child's needs and goals. Progress timelines differ for each child—some show changes within weeks, whilst others develop skills more gradually. Ability Action Australia works with families to set realistic, individualised goals and regularly reviews progress. Consistency between therapy sessions and home practice significantly supports outcomes. Your therapist will discuss expected timeframes during your initial consultation.
