Services Ability Action Australia offers for early intervention
Ability Action Australia lists early intervention as a service for children with early childhood development concerns. Early intervention occupational therapy typically focuses on supporting children aged 0–6 years who may be experiencing delays or difficulties in motor skills, self-care routines, play development, or sensory processing. According to its listing, the clinic offers services that may address these areas during critical developmental periods.
Occupational therapists working in early intervention commonly use play-based activities tailored to each child's developmental level. Examples of typical interventions include fine-motor exercises such as threading beads, scissor skills practice, or finger painting to build hand strength and coordination; sensory activities like exploring different textures, water play, or movement on therapy equipment to support sensory development; and everyday routines coaching, where therapists work with families on strategies for dressing, feeding, or bath time. Ability Action Australia's early intervention service may be funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) for eligible children, with support available under the 2025–26 funding arrangements. Families considering early intervention should note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder; however, they can identify developmental differences and work collaboratively with other professionals as part of a broader assessment and support plan.

About early intervention
Early childhood is a time of rapid development across play, movement, communication, self-care, and social skills. When concerns about a child's early development arise, paediatric occupational therapy is one of the allied health supports often involved.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs early intervention occupational therapy?
Early intervention may be considered if a child shows delays in motor skills (such as crawling, walking, or using utensils), difficulty with self-care routines, limited play skills, or challenges with sensory experiences. A GP, paediatrician, or early childhood educator can provide guidance. Ability Action Australia can discuss whether occupational therapy assessment might be helpful for your child's specific situation.
Can occupational therapy diagnose autism or developmental disorders?
No. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or other developmental conditions. However, they can identify developmental differences and support children's functional skills. If diagnostic assessment is needed, your child's GP or paediatrician can arrange referral to a specialist. Ability Action Australia works alongside other professionals in your child's care team.
Is early intervention through Ability Action Australia covered by NDIS?
Ability Action Australia is listed as NDIS registered. If your child is NDIS-eligible, early intervention services may be funded under the scheme's 2025–26 arrangements. Eligibility and funding levels vary by individual. Contact the clinic or the NDIA directly to discuss your child's potential eligibility and available support.
