Fine motor delay Support at Building Blocks Therapy — VIC

Building Blocks Therapy lists fine motor skills support as part of its service offerings. Fine motor delay—difficulty with tasks requiring hand strength, dexterity, and coordination—is commonly addressed through targeted occupational therapy activities. According to its listing, the clinic works with children on skills needed for writing, fastening buttons, using cutlery, and manipulating small objects.

Typical interventions for fine motor development include structured hand-strengthening exercises using therapy putty or resistance tools, precision activities such as threading beads or completing peg boards, and functional practice with everyday tasks like scissor use or pencil grip training. Building Blocks Therapy may also incorporate sensory play activities—such as sand or water play with scoops and tweezers—to build hand awareness and control while keeping sessions engaging for children.

Children with fine motor concerns may be eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025-26 scheme if they meet access criteria, though NDIS registration for Building Blocks Therapy has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents considering this clinic should verify current registration status and funding eligibility directly. An occupational therapist can assess fine motor skills and recommend strategies, though they cannot diagnose underlying conditions such as autism or developmental coordination disorder.
