Services Inner West Paediatrics offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor abilities. Fine motor skills—like grasping, manipulating objects, and hand-eye coordination—are essential for writing, self-care, and play. At Inner West Paediatrics, occupational therapists work with children to build these foundational skills through targeted, play-based activities tailored to each child's needs and interests. Examples of interventions include threading and bead work to strengthen finger dexterity, scissor skills practice with adaptive tools, and hand strengthening exercises using playdough or resistance activities. Therapists also incorporate everyday activities like fastening buttons, using utensils, and drawing to make skill-building meaningful and functional. Inner West Paediatrics recognises that children develop at different rates, and early support can make a significant difference. Families may be eligible for NDIS funding (2025-26) to access occupational therapy services, depending on their circumstances. The clinic can discuss funding options and support families in understanding what services might be available to them.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has developmental delay?
Developmental delay is identified when a child is not meeting expected milestones for their age across areas like motor skills, communication, or self-care. An occupational therapist can assess your child's fine motor and functional abilities, though they cannot diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD. Your GP or early childhood service can also provide guidance on whether an assessment is appropriate.
What should I expect during the first appointment at Inner West Paediatrics?
The occupational therapist will observe your child playing and completing everyday tasks to understand their current abilities and challenges. They'll ask about your child's developmental history and what concerns you most. This information helps create a personalised plan focusing on skills that matter for your child's daily life and participation.
Can NDIS funding help pay for therapy at Inner West Paediatrics?
Many families access occupational therapy through NDIS funding, though registration status varies by provider. Inner West Paediatrics can discuss your eligibility and funding options during your initial contact. If you're unsure about NDIS access, the clinic team can help explain how funding might support your child's therapy.
