Building Blocks Therapy in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Building Blocks Therapy offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor abilities. Building Blocks Therapy supports children experiencing developmental delay through targeted fine motor intervention, which helps develop the hand strength, coordination, and control needed for everyday tasks like writing, self-care, and play. Our occupational therapists use a range of activities tailored to each child's needs and interests. Examples include threading and bead work to build hand dexterity, scissor skills practice with adaptive equipment, and play-based activities using playdough, puzzles, and construction toys to strengthen finger and hand muscles. Building Blocks Therapy also incorporates functional activities into sessions—such as practising fasteners on clothing or using utensils during snack time—to help children apply developing skills in real-world contexts. If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, our team can discuss how occupational therapy services might be incorporated into a support plan. We work collaboratively with families and other professionals to support your child's development at a pace that suits them.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs occupational therapy for developmental delay?
If you've noticed your child is slower to reach milestones in areas like fine motor skills (holding a pencil, using scissors, fastening buttons), self-care, or play skills compared to peers, an occupational therapy assessment can help. Building Blocks Therapy offers initial consultations where our therapists can discuss your concerns and determine whether therapy could support your child's development.
Can occupational therapy diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing difficulties. However, if your child has already been diagnosed with developmental delay, Building Blocks Therapy can provide targeted support to help them develop skills and participate more fully in daily activities and learning.
Does Building Blocks Therapy accept NDIS funding?
We recommend contacting Building Blocks Therapy directly to confirm current NDIS registration status and discuss funding options. If your child has an approved NDIS plan for the 2025-26 financial year, we can work with you to understand how occupational therapy services might be funded through your plan.
