Services Kerri-Anne Harris offers for fine motor delay
Kerri-Anne Harris lists fine motor skills support as part of its service offerings. Fine motor skills—the ability to control small hand and finger movements—are foundational for tasks like writing, drawing, fastening buttons, using cutlery, and manipulating small objects. When children experience delays in this area, an occupational therapist typically works to strengthen hand muscles, improve coordination, and build confidence through structured activities.
According to its listing, Kerri-Anne Harris may address fine motor delay through targeted interventions. Common approaches include hand-strengthening exercises using therapy putty or resistance tools, pencil grip training with adaptive pencils or grips, and fine-motor play activities such as threading beads, cutting with scissors, or manipulating small construction toys. Therapists often embed these skills into meaningful activities the child enjoys, making practice feel natural rather than clinical.
Children with fine motor delay may be eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025-26 scheme if they meet participant criteria.

Common questions
How does occupational therapy help with fine motor skills?
Occupational therapists work to strengthen the small muscles in hands and fingers through play-based activities and structured exercises. Kerri-Anne Harris may use tools like therapy putty, adaptive pencils, and craft activities to build hand strength, coordination, and control.

Can Kerri-Anne Harris help if my child struggles with writing or holding a pencil?
Yes, fine motor support typically includes pencil grip training and hand-strengthening work.
