Developmental delay Support at Connect Allied Health — Across SA
Connect Allied Health in Across SA lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Connect Allied Health offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor abilities. At Connect Allied Health, our paediatric occupational therapists work with children to build strength, coordination, and control in their hands and fingers—skills essential for everyday activities like eating, dressing, and writing. Through fine motor intervention, we help children develop the precision and strength needed for tasks they encounter at home and school. Examples of activities we use include threading beads to improve finger dexterity, scissor skills training to build hand strength and control, and play-based activities that encourage hand–eye coordination. Connect Allied Health tailors each session to your child's interests and developmental level, making therapy engaging and meaningful. If your child is NDIS-funded, our clinic can work with your plan to support fine motor goals outlined in the 2025–26 funding year. For families exploring support options, we recommend discussing your child's specific needs during an initial consultation to understand how occupational therapy might complement other services your child receives.

About developmental delay

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs fine motor support?
Children with developmental delay may struggle with tasks like holding a pencil, using cutlery, fastening buttons, or manipulating small objects. If you've noticed your child finds these activities difficult compared to peers, an occupational therapist can assess their skills and discuss whether intervention would help. Connect Allied Health can provide guidance during a consultation.
Can occupational therapy diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing difficulties?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose these conditions—that requires assessment by a medical professional or psychologist. However, an OT can identify functional difficulties with fine motor skills and other areas, and work with you and your child's other healthcare providers to support their development and participation in daily activities.
Does Connect Allied Health accept NDIS funding?
We recommend contacting Connect Allied Health directly to confirm current NDIS registration status and discuss funding options for your child. If your child has an NDIS plan, we can work with you to align therapy goals with your funded supports for the 2025–26 year and beyond.
