Kickstart Kids Therapy in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Kickstart Kids Therapy offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor abilities like grasping, hand strength, and coordination. Kickstart Kids Therapy supports children experiencing developmental delay through targeted fine motor intervention. Our occupational therapists work with children on activities designed to build hand strength, dexterity, and control—essential foundations for writing, self-care tasks, and play. Examples of interventions at Kickstart Kids Therapy include threading and bead work to develop pincer grip, playdough manipulation exercises to strengthen hand muscles, and scissor skills practice tailored to each child's developmental stage. We also incorporate everyday activities like fastening buttons, using utensils, and drawing into therapy sessions to make progress meaningful and functional. Many families access our services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing structures apply where eligible), though we work with families using various funding arrangements. Our approach recognises that fine motor development is interconnected with overall growth, and we collaborate with families and other professionals to support each child's individual needs.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has developmental delay?
Developmental delay is typically identified when a child's skills in areas like motor, communication, or self-care fall behind expected milestones. Your GP, early childhood educator, or paediatrician can discuss concerns and refer for assessment. Occupational therapists can evaluate fine motor skills specifically, but cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental disorders—that requires medical assessment.
What should I expect during fine motor therapy at Kickstart Kids Therapy?
Sessions are play-based and tailored to your child's interests and needs. Your occupational therapist will work on activities targeting hand strength, coordination, and control—like threading, drawing, or self-care skills. You'll receive strategies to practise at home, and we'll communicate regularly about progress and goals.
Can we access Kickstart Kids Therapy through NDIS?
Many families use NDIS funding for occupational therapy services. We recommend checking your NDIS plan to see if therapy is included and contacting us to discuss funding arrangements. We also work with families using private payment or other funding options, so please enquire about what suits your situation.
