Developmental delay Support at Access Health Care — Across VIC
Access Health Care in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Access Health Care offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor abilities. Access Health Care supports children experiencing developmental delay through targeted fine motor intervention, helping build the hand strength, coordination, and control needed for everyday tasks like writing, fastening buttons, and using utensils. Our occupational therapists work with children using practical, play-based activities tailored to their individual needs. Examples of interventions at Access Health Care include threading and bead work to develop pincer grip and hand-eye coordination, scissor skills training to strengthen hand muscles and bilateral coordination, and manipulative play with construction toys to improve dexterity and planning. We recognise that many families access NDIS funding to support therapy services, and we work within the 2025-26 funding arrangements to help maximise your child's therapy goals. While occupational therapy can significantly support skill development, we don't diagnose conditions such as autism, ADHD, or sensory processing difficulties—these require assessment by medical professionals. Our role is to help your child develop the practical skills they need to participate more independently in daily activities.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs fine motor support?
Children with developmental delay may struggle with tasks like holding a pencil, using scissors, fastening buttons, or manipulating small objects. If you've noticed your child is slower than peers in these areas or avoids fine motor activities, an occupational therapy assessment can help identify specific needs and create a tailored support plan.
Can Access Health Care help with NDIS funding?
Access Health Care works with families to support therapy goals within NDIS funding frameworks for 2025-26. We recommend discussing your child's plan with your NDIS planner or local coordinator to confirm how occupational therapy services can be funded. We're happy to discuss how we can assist with your child's goals.
Will occupational therapy fix my child's developmental delay?
Occupational therapy helps children develop practical skills and strategies to participate more independently in daily activities. Progress varies depending on your child's individual needs and consistency of practice. We focus on building confidence and capability rather than 'fixing' delay, working collaboratively with families to support meaningful development.
