Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay in children often affects how they build foundational skills, including fine motor control—the ability to use small hand and finger movements with precision. Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan's paediatric occupational therapy clinic across NSW supports children in this area through targeted fine motor interventions tailored to each child's needs and developmental stage. Fine motor skills are essential for everyday activities like writing, fastening buttons, using cutlery, and drawing. At Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan's clinic, children may engage in activities such as threading beads or pegs to strengthen finger dexterity, scissor-cutting exercises to develop hand strength and coordination, and play-based tasks using tweezers or droppers to refine grasp patterns. The clinic also incorporates hand-strengthening activities using therapy putty and structured craft activities that build confidence alongside capability. These interventions are designed to progress at the child's pace, supporting their overall development. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy support for eligible children. Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan works collaboratively with families to identify goals that matter most to them and their child's daily life.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has developmental delay, and can an occupational therapist diagnose it?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose developmental delay—that requires assessment by a paediatrician or other medical professional. However, an OT can identify functional difficulties with fine motor skills and everyday activities. If you're concerned about your child's development, speak with your GP or paediatrician first. They can refer you to Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan's clinic for occupational therapy support once a diagnosis pathway is underway.
Does Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan's clinic accept NDIS funding?
NDIS registration status for this clinic has not been confirmed. Contact the clinic directly to discuss funding options available, including whether they work with NDIS plans (2025-26 arrangements) or offer private fee-for-service appointments. They can advise on the best pathway for your family's circumstances.
What should I expect in a fine motor therapy session?
Sessions typically include play-based activities and structured tasks designed to build hand strength, coordination, and control. Your child might work with putty, beads, scissors, or craft materials. The occupational therapist will observe how your child moves and learns, then tailor activities to their level. You'll receive guidance on activities to practise at home to support progress between sessions.
