Developmental delay Support at Active Eight (A8) — Toowong, QLD
Active Eight (A8) in Toowong, QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Active Eight (A8) offers for developmental delay
Active Eight (A8) recognises that fine motor skills are foundational to child development, affecting everything from self-care tasks to learning readiness. Children with developmental delay often benefit from targeted fine motor support to build strength, coordination, and confidence in their hands and fingers. At Active Eight, occupational therapists design individualised programs addressing these needs through purposeful activities. Examples include threading and bead work to develop pincer grip and hand-eye coordination, scissor skills training using adaptive equipment to build cutting control, and play-based activities like playdough manipulation and construction tasks that strengthen hand muscles naturally. These interventions help children progress towards age-appropriate skills in writing, dressing, and eating independently. If your child is NDIS-registered, Active Eight is listed as a registered provider, meaning you can use your plan funding to access these services under the 2025-26 funding arrangements. The clinic tailors each session to your child's specific needs and developmental goals, working collaboratively with families to support progress both in the clinic and at home.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs fine motor support?
Signs include difficulty holding pencils or cutlery, trouble with buttons or zips, reluctance to draw or write, or clumsiness with small objects. An occupational therapist at Active Eight can assess your child's skills and discuss whether fine motor intervention would help. Early support often makes a meaningful difference in building confidence and independence.
Can occupational therapy diagnose developmental delay or other conditions?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism, ADHD, or sensory processing differences. However, they can assess functional skills and identify areas where support may help. Active Eight works alongside your child's medical team and can provide valuable information to support any diagnostic process your GP or paediatrician is undertaking.
Can I use my child's NDIS plan to pay for services at Active Eight?
Yes, Active Eight is registered as an NDIS provider. If your child has an approved plan, you can use your funding to access occupational therapy services. Contact the clinic directly to discuss your plan details and how they can support your child's goals under the 2025-26 funding arrangements.
