Services Active Eight (A8) offers for early intervention
Active Eight (A8) in Toowong supports early childhood development through targeted fine motor and sensory processing services. Fine motor skills—like holding a pencil, fastening buttons, and coordinating both hands—are foundational for learning and independence. A8's occupational therapists use graded activities such as threading beads, playdough manipulation, and scissor work to build strength and control. Sensory processing difficulties can affect how children respond to touch, movement, and environmental input, impacting their ability to engage in play and learning. Active Eight (A8) addresses this through sensory-rich interventions including work with sensory swings, weighted equipment, and structured sensory circuits that help children regulate their responses. These services align with early intervention principles, supporting children during critical developmental windows. Many families access A8's services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy for eligible children. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose conditions like autism or sensory processing disorder, but they can identify developmental gaps and implement evidence-based strategies to support your child's growth across home, school, and community settings.

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 occupational therapy for early development?
If you've noticed delays in fine motor skills (difficulty with pencils, buttons, or cutlery), unusual responses to textures or movement, or challenges with everyday tasks compared to peers, an occupational therapy assessment is worthwhile. Active Eight (A8) can conduct an initial evaluation to identify your child's strengths and areas for support, regardless of diagnosis.
Can occupational therapy diagnose my child's condition?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder. However, they assess functional abilities and difficulties in daily activities, then work with your child's GP or paediatrician as part of a broader diagnostic team if needed.
Does NDIS cover occupational therapy at Active Eight?
Active Eight (A8) is NDIS-registered, and many children access occupational therapy through NDIS funding under 2025–26 pricing arrangements. Eligibility depends on your child's circumstances and NDIS approval. Contact A8 directly to discuss your funding options and how they can support your child's early development.
