Services Chatterbox offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children develop skills across many areas, including fine motor control. Fine motor skills—like holding a pencil, fastening buttons, or manipulating small objects—are essential for everyday activities and school readiness. At Chatterbox, our occupational therapists work with children to build these skills through targeted, play-based activities tailored to each child's needs and interests. Examples of interventions might include threading activities to strengthen hand muscles, scissor practice with graded resistance, or playdough manipulation to develop finger strength and coordination. Chatterbox also incorporates sensory strategies, such as using textured materials or weighted tools, to help children engage more effectively with fine motor tasks. Our therapists take a holistic approach, considering how posture, hand strength, and coordination all work together. If you're accessing NDIS funding for your child's therapy in 2025-26, Chatterbox can discuss how fine motor support fits within your plan. We recommend discussing your child's specific needs with our team to understand how occupational therapy might support their development.

Common questions
How does occupational therapy help with fine motor skills?
Occupational therapists use purposeful activities to strengthen hand muscles, improve coordination, and develop the skills needed for writing, self-care, and play. At Chatterbox, we make these activities engaging and fun, working at your child's level. Progress is gradual and individualised, depending on your child's starting point and goals.
Can occupational therapy diagnose developmental delay or autism?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder. However, we can identify functional difficulties with fine motor skills and other areas, and we work alongside other professionals like paediatricians or psychologists who may provide diagnosis. Chatterbox focuses on supporting your child's skills and participation.
Does Chatterbox accept NDIS funding?
We recommend contacting Chatterbox directly to discuss current NDIS arrangements and how we can support your child's plan. Our team can explain how therapy sessions work within 2025-26 funding guidelines and help you understand what to expect from occupational therapy services.
