Developmental delay Support at Bankstown Community Resource Group — NSW

Bankstown Community Resource Group lists early intervention as a service for children with developmental delay. Early intervention in occupational therapy typically focuses on building foundational skills during the critical early years when children's development is most responsive to support. According to its listing, the clinic may address areas such as fine motor development, gross motor coordination, self-care routines, and play skills that form the basis for later learning.

Specific activities that early intervention services often include are fine-motor exercises such as threading, pegboard work, and scissor practice to strengthen hand control; gross motor activities like balance work on therapy balls or stepping over obstacles to improve coordination; and structured play routines that encourage social engagement and problem-solving. Bankstown Community Resource Group may also incorporate sensory strategies, such as weighted equipment or textured materials, to help children regulate their responses to their environment.

For families accessing early intervention services, NDIS funding may be available to eligible children under 7 years old, with support coordinated through an early childhood partner or plan manager. The 2025-26 NDIS pricing arrangements outline funding bands for early childhood intervention.
