Early intervention Support at Kerri-Anne Harris — Ipswich, QLD

Early childhood development relies on strong foundations in fine motor skills and sensory processing. At Kerri-Anne Harris, our occupational therapists recognise that children develop at different rates, and targeted support during these critical early years can make a meaningful difference. Fine motor work helps children develop the hand strength and coordination needed for everyday tasks like self-feeding, dressing, and eventually writing. We use activities such as threading beads, playdough manipulation, and scissor practice to build these skills in engaging ways. Sensory processing support addresses how children interpret and respond to sensory information from their environment. Kerri-Anne Harris incorporates sensory strategies like weighted lap pads, movement breaks on therapy balls, and tactile exploration activities to help children feel more regulated and ready to learn. These services support children's participation in daily routines and learning environments. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025–26 financial year, occupational therapy services may be covered under your plan. We recommend discussing your child's specific needs with your GP or early intervention coordinator to determine the right support pathway.
