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 foundational hand strength, coordination, and dexterity needed for everyday tasks like writing, fastening buttons, and using cutlery. Our occupational therapists work with children to develop these skills through purposeful, play-based activities tailored to each child's interests and developmental level. Examples of interventions at Ability Action Australia include fine motor exercises using tweezers and threading activities to strengthen finger control, hand-strengthening games with playdough and resistance tools, and bilateral coordination tasks that develop both-hand cooperation. We also incorporate sensory strategies, such as textured materials and weighted utensils, to support motor planning and control. For families with NDIS plans, Ability Action Australia is registered to provide early intervention services, and therapy can be funded through participant budgets in the 2025-26 financial year, making support more accessible. Early intervention through occupational therapy helps 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 fine motor skills delay?
Signs may include difficulty holding pencils or cutlery, struggling with buttons or zips, messy handwriting, or reluctance to engage in drawing or writing activities. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills and discuss any concerns. Note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental coordination disorder—this requires a medical professional—but we can identify functional difficulties and support skill development.
Can Ability Action Australia help if my child has an NDIS plan?
Yes, Ability Action Australia is NDIS-registered and can provide early intervention services funded through participant plans. We work with families to understand their goals and deliver therapy aligned with their plan objectives. Contact us to discuss how your child's NDIS funding can support fine motor development in the 2025-26 financial year.
What can I do at home to support fine motor skills between therapy sessions?
Our occupational therapists at Ability Action Australia provide families with practical strategies and activities for home. These might include play-based tasks like threading, drawing, or cooking activities that naturally build hand strength and coordination. We work collaboratively with parents to embed therapy into daily routines, making skill development part of everyday life.
