Early intervention Support at EquipKids — Across VIC
EquipKids in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for early intervention.
Services EquipKids offers for early intervention
Early childhood development relies on strong foundations in fine motor skills and sensory processing. EquipKids supports children in Across VIC by addressing these key areas through tailored occupational therapy. Fine motor development—such as grasping, hand strength, and coordination—underpins writing, self-care, and play. EquipKids uses graded activities like threading beads, playdough manipulation, and scissor work to build these skills progressively. Sensory processing helps children interpret and respond appropriately to touch, movement, and environmental input. The clinic incorporates sensory strategies such as weighted lap pads during tabletop activities, controlled swinging or rocking to support vestibular input, and textured play materials to promote sensory integration. These interventions support children's readiness for learning and social participation. If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding (2025-26), EquipKids can discuss how therapy goals align with your plan. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or sensory processing disorder; however, they can identify developmental differences and support skill-building across all children.

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 occupational therapy for early development?
Signs include difficulty with self-care tasks (dressing, feeding), avoiding certain textures or movements, clumsiness, or delayed fine motor skills compared to peers. EquipKids can conduct an initial assessment to identify your child's strengths and areas for support. A referral from your GP or early childhood educator can help guide the process.
Can occupational therapy help if my child has been diagnosed with autism or ADHD?
Yes. Occupational therapists support children with diagnosed conditions by addressing functional skills like fine motor control and sensory regulation. However, OTs cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder. EquipKids works alongside your child's medical team to provide complementary support tailored to their individual needs.
Does EquipKids accept NDIS funding?
NDIS registration status is currently being confirmed. We recommend contacting EquipKids directly to discuss your funding options and whether your child may be eligible for NDIS support. They can also advise on private payment arrangements and any rebates available through your health insurance.
