Developmental delay Support at Foundations Therapy & Support — VIC

Developmental delay in children can affect the speed at which skills emerge across different areas, including fine motor abilities. Fine motor skills—such as grasping, pinching, and hand-eye coordination—are foundational for writing, self-care tasks, and play. Foundations Therapy & Support lists fine motor support as a service that may address these developmental concerns. Fine motor interventions typically involve structured activities designed to strengthen hand muscles and improve coordination. Examples of activities an occupational therapist might use include threading beads or pegs to build pinch strength, scissor-cutting exercises with graded resistance, and tripod-grip practice through drawing or painting tasks. Foundations Therapy & Support may also incorporate play-based activities that naturally encourage fine motor development, such as construction play or manipulation of small objects. Parents should note that NDIS funding may be available for eligible children under the 2025-26 scheme, though the clinic's NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Families are encouraged to contact the clinic directly to discuss funding options, eligibility, and how fine motor support aligns with their child's individual needs.
