Early intervention Support at Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan — Across NSW
Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for early intervention.
Services Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan offers for early intervention
Early childhood development relies on strong fine motor skills—the ability to control small hand and finger movements needed for writing, self-care, and play. Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan's paediatric occupational therapy clinic across NSW supports children in building these foundational skills through targeted interventions tailored to each child's developmental stage. Fine motor work might include activities such as threading beads or pegs to strengthen finger control, scissor skills practice to prepare for school tasks, and hand-strengthening exercises using playdough or resistance tools. The clinic also incorporates play-based learning, recognising that young children develop best when activities feel enjoyable rather than clinical. Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan and the team work collaboratively with families to embed these strategies into everyday routines at home and in early education settings. For families accessing NDIS funding in the 2025-26 scheme, occupational therapy services may be eligible for support, depending on your child's plan. The clinic can discuss funding options during your initial consultation, though NDIS registration status should be confirmed directly with the service.

About early intervention
Early childhood is a time of rapid development across play, movement, communication, self-care, and social skills. When concerns about a child's early development arise, paediatric occupational therapy is one of the allied health supports often involved.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs fine motor support?
Signs include difficulty holding pencils or cutlery, avoiding drawing or writing activities, struggling with buttons or zips, or appearing less coordinated than peers. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills and identify areas for development. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental delay—that requires medical assessment—but they can support the skills your child needs to participate in daily activities.
What should I expect during the first appointment at Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan's clinic?
The therapist will observe your child playing and completing age-appropriate tasks, ask about their development and daily routines, and discuss your concerns and goals. This helps create a personalised plan. Sessions are typically play-based and child-led, making them engaging for young children. You'll receive strategies to practise at home between appointments.
Can NDIS funding cover therapy at this clinic?
Occupational therapy may be funded under NDIS plans in the 2025-26 scheme if it's listed in your child's approved supports. Contact Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan's clinic directly to confirm their NDIS registration status and discuss how funding might apply to your situation.
