Community Therapy in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for fine motor delay.
Services Community Therapy offers for fine motor delay
Community Therapy supports children with fine motor skills delay through early intervention services that target the foundational abilities needed for everyday tasks like writing, drawing, and self-care. Early intervention is most effective when started as soon as delay is identified, helping children develop strength, coordination, and control in their hands and fingers. At Community Therapy, occupational therapists design individualised programs that might include activities such as threading beads or using tweezers to pick up small objects, which build finger strength and precision. Children may also engage in hand-strengthening exercises using therapy putty or resistance tools, and practise scissor skills through craft activities tailored to their interests. Community Therapy is registered with the NDIS, meaning many families can access these services through NDIS plans (2025-26 funding year), reducing out-of-pocket costs. Early intervention recognises that children's brains are highly adaptable during early childhood, making this the ideal time to address fine motor challenges before they impact school readiness, confidence, and participation in play and learning activities.

About fine motor delay
Fine motor skills are the small, precise movements children use with their hands and fingers for play, self-care, and school. A fine motor skills delay describes when a child is taking longer than expected to develop these skills.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor skills delay?
Signs include difficulty holding pencils, struggling with buttons or zips, messy handwriting, avoiding drawing or writing activities, or clumsiness with small objects. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills and compare them to developmental milestones. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental coordination disorder—a paediatrician or specialist would do that. Community Therapy can discuss your concerns during an initial consultation.
Will my NDIS plan cover therapy at Community Therapy?
Community Therapy is NDIS registered, so many children with approved plans can access occupational therapy services. Coverage depends on your child's individual plan and goals. We recommend checking your plan details or contacting Community Therapy directly to discuss your funding and how services align with your child's NDIS goals for the 2025-26 funding year.
How long does it take to see improvement in fine motor skills?
Progress varies depending on your child's age, the degree of delay, and consistency of practice. Early intervention typically shows noticeable changes within weeks to months when therapy is combined with home activities. Community Therapy will work with you to set realistic goals and track progress through regular reviews, adjusting the program as your child develops.
