Developmental delay Support at D.O.T.S. OT for Children — Across VIC
D.O.T.S. OT for Children in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services D.O.T.S. OT for Children offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor abilities. Fine motor skills—such as grasping, hand-eye coordination, and finger dexterity—are essential for writing, self-care tasks, and play. D.O.T.S. OT for Children supports children experiencing developmental delay by working on these foundational skills through tailored activities and interventions. Our occupational therapists might use activities like threading beads or playdough manipulation to build hand strength and control, scissor practice to develop bilateral coordination, or adaptive utensil use during mealtimes to encourage independence. We also incorporate play-based learning, which makes skill development engaging and meaningful for children. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding (2025-26), D.O.T.S. OT for Children can work with you to incorporate occupational therapy into your plan. While we're not currently confirmed as NDIS-registered, we're happy to discuss how our services might support your child's developmental goals and what funding options may be available to your family.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has developmental delay?
Developmental delay is identified when a child is not meeting typical milestones for their age across areas like movement, communication, or self-care. An occupational therapist can assess your child's fine motor and functional skills, though diagnosis typically involves a multidisciplinary team. If you have concerns, speak with your GP or early childhood service, who can arrange formal assessment.
What should I expect during an appointment at D.O.T.S. OT for Children?
Your occupational therapist will observe your child during play and everyday activities, discuss your concerns and goals, and assess fine motor skills and functional abilities. They'll then work with you to develop strategies and activities you can practise at home. Sessions are play-based and child-centred, making them engaging and practical for real-world situations.
Can occupational therapy help if my child has autism or ADHD?
Occupational therapists can support children with autism or ADHD by addressing functional skills like fine motor control and self-care. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose these conditions—that requires a medical professional. D.O.T.S. OT for Children can discuss how therapy might help your child's specific needs.
