Everyday Independence in Bendigo, VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Everyday Independence offers for developmental delay
Early intervention is crucial for children with developmental delay, as addressing challenges during the early years can support better outcomes across all areas of development. At Everyday Independence in Bendigo, early intervention services focus on building foundational skills in areas such as fine motor control, gross motor coordination, self-care abilities, and social participation. Our occupational therapists work with children and families to identify specific areas where development may be progressing differently and create tailored strategies to support progress. Examples of interventions include fine-motor exercises using threading activities and scissor skills practice to strengthen hand control, sensory-based activities such as play with different textures and movement experiences to support body awareness, and structured routines with visual supports to help children understand and participate in daily activities. Early intervention through Everyday Independence can be funded through the NDIS (2025-26), allowing eligible families to access support without direct out-of-pocket costs. By starting therapy early and working collaboratively with families, we aim to help children develop confidence and independence in their everyday activities.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs early intervention support?
If you've noticed your child is developing skills at a different pace than peers—such as difficulty with fine motor tasks like holding a pencil, challenges with coordination, or trouble with self-care routines like dressing—an occupational therapy assessment can help. Everyday Independence can discuss your concerns and determine whether early intervention support would be beneficial for your child's development.
Can occupational therapy diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing differences. However, our team at Everyday Independence can assess how developmental delay affects your child's everyday functioning and skills, and we work alongside other professionals involved in your child's care to support their development.
How does NDIS funding work for early intervention at Everyday Independence?
If your child is NDIS-eligible, early intervention services can be funded through your plan for the 2025-26 financial year. Everyday Independence is NDIS-registered, meaning you can use your funding with us. We'll work with you to understand your plan and how services can be accessed without direct out-of-pocket costs.
