Services Allay Occupational Therapy offers for developmental delay
Allay Occupational Therapy lists early intervention as a service, which is commonly used to support children with developmental delay. Early intervention in occupational therapy typically focuses on building foundational skills across motor development, self-care, play, and communication during the critical early years when children's brains are most responsive to learning.
For children with developmental delay, early intervention might include activities such as fine-motor exercises using play-based tasks like threading beads, scribbling with chunky crayons, or manipulating playdough to strengthen hand strength and coordination. Gross-motor work may involve activities on therapy equipment like stepping over obstacles, climbing ramps, or practising balance on unstable surfaces. Self-care skill development—such as supported feeding practice, dressing routines, or toilet training readiness—is also commonly addressed.
According to its listing, Allay Occupational Therapy is listed as NDIS registered, meaning families may be able to access early intervention support through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements) if the child has an approved plan. Early intervention is most effective when started as soon as developmental concerns are identified, and therapists typically work collaboratively with families and other professionals to embed strategies into everyday routines at home and in community settings.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs early intervention occupational therapy?
If your child is showing delays in motor skills (like crawling, walking, or hand control), self-care skills (feeding, dressing), or play development compared to peers, an occupational therapist can assess and advise. Early intervention is most effective when started early, though a formal diagnosis is not always required to begin support. Your GP or child health nurse can provide referral guidance.
Can Allay Occupational Therapy help if my child hasn't been formally diagnosed?
Yes. Early intervention occupational therapy can support children with developmental delay regardless of formal diagnosis. Allay Occupational Therapy can assess your child's functional skills and needs. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD—diagnosis requires assessment by a paediatrician or psychologist.
How is early intervention funded through the NDIS?
If your child has an approved NDIS plan, early intervention occupational therapy can be funded as a support. Allay Occupational Therapy is listed as NDIS registered, so families may claim sessions under their plan allocation. Contact the NDIS or your local early childhood partner to discuss eligibility and planning.
