Services Firstchance offers for developmental delay
Firstchance lists developmental delay as a service area. Developmental delay occurs when a child's progress in areas such as movement, communication, social skills, or self-care lags behind typical milestones for their age. Occupational therapy addressing developmental delay typically focuses on building skills across daily activities and play. According to Firstchance's listing, the clinic may support children through targeted interventions tailored to individual needs.
Common approaches in occupational therapy for developmental delay include fine-motor skill building (such as threading activities, scissor practice, or pencil grip exercises), gross-motor development (like balance work on therapy equipment or coordination games), and self-care skill training (dressing, feeding, or toileting routines). Sensory activities—for example, play with textured materials or movement-based games—may also be incorporated to support overall development.
Children with developmental delay may be eligible for NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements apply where applicable), which can support access to therapy services. Parents considering Firstchance should confirm the clinic's current NDIS registration status directly, as this has not been confirmed in the directory snapshot. An initial assessment with an occupational therapist can help identify specific areas of need and appropriate intervention strategies for each child.

Common questions
How does occupational therapy help a child with developmental delay?
Occupational therapy addresses the specific skills a child finds difficult—whether that is fine-motor tasks like holding a pencil, gross-motor activities like climbing stairs, or self-care routines like dressing. Firstchance uses play-based and practical activities to build these skills in everyday contexts, helping children progress toward age-appropriate milestones at their own pace.
Can Firstchance help if my child has been diagnosed with autism or ADHD?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing differences. However, Firstchance may support children with these diagnoses by addressing functional skills and daily living challenges. If your child has a diagnosis, discuss this during an initial consultation to clarify how occupational therapy might complement their overall support plan.
Does Firstchance accept NDIS funding?
NDIS registration for Firstchance has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Contact the clinic directly to ask about current NDIS registration status and accepted funding arrangements. This will help determine whether NDIS can be used to access services at Firstchance in Mayfield.
