Services Capable Therapy offers for developmental delay
Early intervention is crucial for children with developmental delay, as addressing challenges during the formative years can support better outcomes across physical, cognitive, and social skills. At Capable Therapy in Bendigo, early intervention services focus on identifying areas where children may need additional support and implementing tailored strategies to help them progress. Our occupational therapists work with children on activities such as fine-motor exercises (like threading beads or scissor skills practice), sensory play experiences (including work with textured materials and movement activities), and structured daily routines using visual supports to build independence. These interventions are designed to be embedded into everyday activities at home and school, making them practical and sustainable. Early intervention can be funded through the NDIS for eligible children, and Capable Therapy supports families in understanding their funding options for the 2025-26 financial year. By starting therapy early, children often develop greater confidence and skills that support their participation in school, play, and family life. Our team takes a collaborative approach, working alongside families and educators to ensure consistent support across all environments.

About developmental delay
Developmental delay describes when a child has not yet reached one or more developmental milestones in the expected timeframe. It is a description, not a single diagnosis.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has developmental delay?
Developmental delay can show in many ways—slower speech, difficulty with movement, challenges with self-care tasks, or trouble with social interaction. Your GP, child health nurse, or early childhood educator may notice these patterns. Capable Therapy can conduct an occupational therapy assessment to understand your child's strengths and areas for support, though an OT cannot diagnose conditions like autism or cerebral palsy—that requires medical assessment.
Can my child access therapy through the NDIS?
Many children with developmental delay are eligible for NDIS support. Capable Therapy can discuss your child's situation and help you understand potential funding options for 2025-26. We recommend speaking with your GP or local early childhood service about whether your child may qualify. Not all children require NDIS funding, and we can also discuss private therapy options.
What happens during early intervention therapy at Capable Therapy?
Sessions are play-based and tailored to your child's needs and interests. Your occupational therapist might work on fine-motor skills, sensory experiences, movement, self-care routines, or communication support. We involve parents and carers so you can continue strategies at home. Sessions typically occur weekly, and we regularly review progress and adjust goals based on your child's development.
