Services Growing Minds Paediatric Occupational Therapy offers for fine motor delay
Fine motor skills—the ability to control small hand and finger movements—are essential for everyday tasks like writing, drawing, fastening buttons, and using cutlery. Growing Minds Paediatric Occupational Therapy supports children experiencing fine motor delay through targeted handwriting intervention and tailored activities designed to build strength, coordination, and confidence. Our occupational therapists use evidence-based techniques including finger strengthening exercises (such as threading beads or using tweezers to pick up small objects), pencil grip training with adaptive equipment, and hand-eye coordination activities that make learning engaging. For example, we might incorporate playdough manipulation to build intrinsic hand strength, or use pre-writing patterns and letter formation activities that scaffold progression toward independent writing. Growing Minds recognises that every child develops at their own pace, and we work collaboratively with families to set realistic goals. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025–26 scheme, occupational therapy services may be covered; we recommend checking your child's plan to understand available supports. Our approach focuses on building your child's skills in a supportive, play-based environment.

About fine motor delay

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor delay?
Signs include difficulty holding a pencil, reluctance to write or draw, poor letter formation, trouble with buttons or zips, or messiness with eating utensils compared to peers. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills and identify specific areas needing support. Note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like dyspraxia or developmental coordination disorder—that requires a medical professional—but we can identify functional difficulties and provide targeted help.
What should I expect during the first appointment at Growing Minds?
Your first session typically includes a conversation about your child's history and concerns, observation of how they perform everyday tasks, and informal assessment of fine motor skills. The occupational therapist will discuss findings with you and work together to set goals. Sessions are play-based and child-friendly, helping your child feel comfortable and engaged from the start.
Can NDIS funding cover occupational therapy for fine motor delay?
Many children with fine motor difficulties are eligible for NDIS support under the 2025–26 funding arrangements, depending on their plan. Growing Minds recommends reviewing your child's NDIS plan or contacting the NDIS directly to confirm what occupational therapy services are funded. We're happy to discuss funding options during your initial enquiry.
