Services cohealth Occupational Therapy offers for developmental delay
Children with developmental delay often experience difficulties with fine motor skills—the precise hand and finger movements needed for everyday activities like writing, buttoning clothes, and self-feeding. At cohealth Occupational Therapy in Acacia Ridge, VIC, our occupational therapists work with children to build these essential skills through targeted, play-based interventions. We use activities such as threading beads and manipulating playdough to strengthen hand muscles and improve coordination. Scissor skills practice helps children develop the control needed for cutting and crafting. We also incorporate pencil grip training and handwriting exercises tailored to each child's developmental stage. These interventions are designed to build confidence and independence in daily tasks. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, cohealth Occupational Therapy can discuss how therapy costs may be covered under your plan. Our approach focuses on practical, functional improvements that support your child's participation at home, school, and in the community.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a developmental delay in fine motor skills?
Signs may include difficulty holding a pencil, struggling with buttons or zips, poor scissor control, or messy handwriting compared to peers. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills and identify specific areas needing support. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental coordination disorder—this requires a medical professional.
Can cohealth Occupational Therapy help my child catch up to their peers?
Our therapists work to improve your child's fine motor abilities and functional skills through individualised therapy. Progress varies depending on your child's starting point and consistency of practice. We focus on building practical skills for daily activities rather than guaranteeing specific outcomes.
Does cohealth Occupational Therapy accept NDIS funding?
We recommend contacting cohealth Occupational Therapy directly to confirm current NDIS registration and funding arrangements for 2025-26. If you have an approved NDIS plan, we can discuss how occupational therapy services may be covered and help you understand costs involved.
