Services Child and Family Occupational Therapy - Port Kembla Hospital offers for developmental delay
Children with developmental delay often experience challenges with fine motor skills—the small, coordinated movements needed for everyday tasks like holding a pencil, fastening buttons, or using cutlery. Child and Family Occupational Therapy - Port Kembla Hospital supports children in this area through targeted interventions designed to build strength, coordination, and confidence. Our occupational therapists work with children using practical, play-based activities that make skill-building engaging. Examples include threading and bead work to develop pincer grip and hand-eye coordination, scissor training exercises to strengthen hand muscles, and adaptive utensil practice during structured meal times. We also incorporate sensory-motor activities tailored to each child's needs, helping them develop the foundational skills required for writing, self-care, and play. Child and Family Occupational Therapy - Port Kembla Hospital can discuss how your child's therapy may be funded through the NDIS (2025-26 pricing arrangements apply where eligible) or other funding options. Every child progresses at their own pace, and our team works collaboratively with families to set realistic, meaningful goals that support participation in daily activities.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor delay?
Signs may include difficulty holding pencils or utensils, trouble with buttons or zips, messy handwriting, or reluctance to engage in drawing or craft activities. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills and discuss observations with you. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental disorders—this requires a medical professional. Child and Family Occupational Therapy - Port Kembla Hospital can provide an assessment and recommend next steps.
What should I expect during the first appointment?
Your child's first session typically includes observation of their play and daily activities, discussion of your concerns and goals, and assessment of fine motor skills. The therapist will explain findings in parent-friendly language and discuss a therapy plan tailored to your child. Sessions are usually play-based and relaxed to help your child feel comfortable.
Can occupational therapy be funded through the NDIS?
Many children access occupational therapy through NDIS funding if they have an approved plan. Child and Family Occupational Therapy - Port Kembla Hospital can discuss your eligibility and funding options during your initial contact. If NDIS registration status is confirmed, we can provide details about how 2025-26 pricing arrangements apply to your child's care.
