Developmental delay Support at EquipKids — Across VIC

Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across many areas of daily life, including fine motor abilities like writing, drawing, and self-care tasks. EquipKids supports children experiencing developmental delay through targeted fine motor therapy, helping build the hand strength, coordination, and control needed for school and everyday activities. During sessions at EquipKids, children might engage in activities such as threading beads or using tweezers to pick up small objects, which develops pincer grip and hand dexterity. Therapists may also incorporate play-based interventions like playdough manipulation or scissor skills practice to make learning engaging and functional. For children with developmental delay, these structured activities help bridge gaps in motor development and build confidence in using their hands effectively. EquipKids works with families to understand their goals and can discuss how NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing) might support ongoing therapy if your child is registered. An occupational therapist can assess your child's current abilities and create a tailored plan, though they cannot diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD—this requires assessment from other specialists.
