Services Foundations Therapy & Support offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor abilities. Fine motor skills—such as grasping, pinching, and hand-eye coordination—are essential for everyday activities like writing, eating, and self-care. At Foundations Therapy & Support in Across, our occupational therapists work with children to build these foundational skills through tailored activities and practice. Examples of interventions might include threading beads or pegs to strengthen finger strength and control, scissor activities to develop hand stability, or play-based tasks like playdough manipulation to improve dexterity. We also incorporate sensory exploration and adaptive strategies to support engagement and learning. Each child's program is individualised based on their current abilities and goals. If you're considering support for your child, Foundations Therapy & Support can discuss how fine motor therapy aligns with your child's needs. Many families access occupational therapy through NDIS funding; we encourage you to explore your eligibility and funding options for the 2025-26 financial year.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a developmental delay?
Developmental delays can show in different ways—such as slower achievement of milestones like sitting, walking, or using utensils. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose developmental delay, but they can assess your child's skills and discuss observations with you. Your GP or paediatrician can provide formal assessment and diagnosis. Foundations Therapy & Support can help clarify whether occupational therapy might support your child's development.
How is fine motor therapy delivered at Foundations Therapy & Support?
Fine motor therapy is delivered through play-based, functional activities tailored to your child's interests and abilities. Sessions might include hand strengthening exercises, coordination practice, and strategies to support independence in daily tasks. Your therapist will work with you to identify goals and suggest activities you can practise at home between sessions.
Can occupational therapy help my child catch up to their peers?
Occupational therapy supports your child's skill development and independence in meaningful activities. Progress varies depending on your child's individual circumstances. Rather than 'catching up', therapy focuses on building confidence, capability, and participation in everyday routines. Discuss realistic goals with your therapist at Foundations Therapy & Support.
