Developmental delay Support at Glenelg Allied Health — Across SA
Glenelg Allied Health in Across SA lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Glenelg Allied Health offers for developmental delay
Fine motor skills are essential for children's independence in everyday activities like writing, eating, dressing, and play. At Glenelg Allied Health, our occupational therapists work with children experiencing developmental delay by targeting the strength, coordination, and control needed for these tasks. Through tailored interventions, we help children build confidence and capability in their hands and fingers. Examples of activities we use include threading and bead work to develop pinch strength and hand-eye coordination, scissor skills training to prepare for school readiness, and play-based activities using playdough and construction toys to improve hand stability. Our therapists also provide strategies and home programmes that parents can use between sessions to support progress. If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding in 2025-26, Glenelg Allied Health can discuss how occupational therapy services might be covered under your plan. Every child develops at their own pace, and our team works collaboratively with families to set realistic goals and monitor progress over time.

About developmental delay
Developmental delay describes when a child has not yet reached one or more developmental milestones in the expected timeframe. It is a description, not a single diagnosis.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a developmental delay in fine motor skills?
Signs may include difficulty holding a pencil, struggling with buttons or zips, poor scissor control, or avoiding fine motor activities. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills and compare them to typical developmental milestones. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental disorders—that requires a medical professional. An OT assessment helps identify where your child needs support.
What should I expect during my first appointment at Glenelg Allied Health?
Your first visit typically includes discussion of your child's history, observation of their play and fine motor skills, and informal assessment activities. The therapist will chat with you about your concerns and goals, then explain what they've observed and discuss a potential therapy plan. This helps us understand your child's strengths and areas for development before starting any interventions.
Can NDIS funding cover occupational therapy for developmental delay?
NDIS funding may cover occupational therapy if your child is eligible and fine motor support is included in their plan goals. Funding arrangements vary depending on individual circumstances and 2025-26 plan allocations. Glenelg Allied Health can discuss your situation and help clarify what might be available, though we recommend checking your NDIS plan details or contacting the NDIA directly.
