Services Independent Kids and Adults offers for developmental delay
Early intervention is crucial for children with developmental delay, as addressing challenges during the formative years can support better outcomes across physical, cognitive, and social development. Independent Kids and Adults offers early intervention services designed to identify areas where children may need additional support and implement tailored strategies to help them progress. Through play-based activities and structured exercises, the clinic works with children to build foundational skills. Examples of interventions might include fine-motor activities such as threading, cutting, and pencil grip work to develop hand strength and coordination; gross-motor exercises using equipment like stepping stones or balance beams to improve body awareness and movement control; and sensory-based activities to help children process and respond appropriately to their environment. Independent Kids and Adults recognises that early support can make a meaningful difference. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025-26 arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy for eligible children. The clinic works collaboratively with families and other professionals to ensure interventions are consistent and meaningful, supporting each child's unique developmental journey.

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 developmental delay?
Developmental delay can show in different ways—some children may be slower to reach milestones like sitting, walking, or speaking, whilst others may struggle with coordination, play skills, or social interaction. An occupational therapist can assess your child's development, but they cannot diagnose conditions like autism or cerebral palsy. If you have concerns, speak with your GP or paediatrician, who can refer you to appropriate services including Independent Kids and Adults.
Can Independent Kids and Adults help my child catch up to their peers?
Occupational therapy supports children in developing skills and strategies tailored to their needs. Early intervention through Independent Kids and Adults can help your child progress and build confidence in daily activities. Every child develops at their own pace, and therapy focuses on meaningful progress rather than matching peers exactly. Your OT will work with you to set realistic, individualised goals.
Does NDIS funding cover services at Independent Kids and Adults?
Many families use NDIS funding for occupational therapy services. Eligibility and funding amounts depend on your child's circumstances and NDIS plan. Independent Kids and Adults can discuss funding options with you, though registration status should be confirmed directly with the clinic. Contact them to explore what support may be available for your family.
