Children’s Occupational Therapy in Across QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for fine motor delay.
Services Children’s Occupational Therapy offers for fine motor delay
Fine motor skills delay can affect a child's ability to hold a pencil, control hand movements, and develop confident handwriting. Children's Occupational Therapy supports these challenges through targeted handwriting intervention, which addresses grip strength, hand-eye coordination, and pencil control. During sessions, our occupational therapists use practical activities tailored to each child's needs. Examples include finger strengthening exercises using theraputty or tweezers to pick up small objects, pencil grip training with adaptive pencils or grips, and pre-writing activities such as tracing, dotting, and copying patterns. We also incorporate hand coordination games and fine motor play to build the foundational skills needed for writing. Children's Occupational Therapy recognises that fine motor development varies widely, and our approach is individualised to support your child's progress at their own pace. If you're accessing NDIS funding for 2025–26, handwriting support may be included in your child's plan as a therapy goal. We encourage you to discuss funding eligibility with your plan manager or NDIS coordinator, as registration status can affect how services are claimed.

About fine motor delay

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor skills delay?
Signs include difficulty holding a pencil, poor grip strength, messy or inconsistent handwriting, reluctance to draw or write, or struggling with tasks like fastening buttons or using scissors. An occupational therapist can assess your child's fine motor abilities and identify specific areas needing support. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD—only medical professionals can do this.
What should I expect during a handwriting session at Children's Occupational Therapy?
Sessions typically begin with warm-up activities to prepare the hands and fingers, followed by targeted exercises addressing grip, control, and coordination. Your occupational therapist will work on letter formation, pencil pressure, and speed in a fun, play-based way. You'll receive strategies to practise at home, and progress is monitored regularly to adjust the approach as your child improves.
Can I use NDIS funding for handwriting therapy?
Handwriting support may be covered under NDIS funding for 2025–26 if it's included in your child's plan. Contact your plan manager or NDIS coordinator to confirm eligibility and discuss how to claim sessions at Children's Occupational Therapy. We recommend clarifying our registration status with your coordinator before booking.
