Allay Occupational Therapy in Geelong, VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Allay Occupational Therapy offers for developmental delay
Early intervention is crucial for children with developmental delay, as addressing challenges during the early years can support better outcomes across multiple areas of development. At Allay Occupational Therapy in Geelong, early intervention services focus on helping children build foundational skills in areas such as fine and gross motor development, self-care abilities, and play skills. Our occupational therapists work with children through targeted activities tailored to their individual needs. For example, a child with fine motor delays might engage in activities like threading beads, using adaptive scissors, or manipulating playdough to strengthen hand strength and coordination. For gross motor development, we might incorporate balance work on therapy equipment or obstacle course activities. Self-care skills such as dressing, feeding, and toileting are also addressed through practical, play-based approaches. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, early intervention services through Allay Occupational Therapy can be covered under your plan, making professional support more accessible. Early intervention recognises that children develop at different rates, and our therapists work collaboratively with families to embed strategies into everyday routines at home and in the community.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a developmental delay?
Developmental delay is identified when a child is not meeting typical milestones for their age across areas like movement, communication, play, or self-care. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills and discuss any concerns. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or cerebral palsy—this requires a medical professional. If you're worried, speaking with your GP or child health nurse is a good first step.
Can Allay Occupational Therapy help my child if they're on the NDIS?
Yes, Allay Occupational Therapy is NDIS registered. If your child has an approved NDIS plan that includes occupational therapy funding, you can use those funds for our early intervention services. We recommend checking your plan details and contacting us to discuss how we can support your child's specific goals and needs.
What happens during an early intervention session at Allay?
Sessions are play-based and tailored to your child's age and abilities. Our occupational therapists work on specific skills—like coordination, strength, or independence in daily tasks—through activities your child enjoys. We also share strategies with parents so you can support your child's development at home between sessions.
