Services Kid Sense Child Development offers for fine motor delay
Kid Sense Child Development offers fine motor skill support to help children develop the hand strength, coordination, and control needed for everyday tasks like writing, drawing, fastening buttons, and using cutlery. Fine motor delays can affect a child's independence and confidence in school and home environments. At Kid Sense Child Development, occupational therapists work with children through targeted activities tailored to their individual needs. Examples of interventions include threading and bead work to build finger dexterity, scissor skills training using adaptive equipment, and hand-strengthening exercises with playdough or resistance tools. Therapists also incorporate fine motor practice into play-based activities that children enjoy, making learning engaging and natural. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025-26 scheme, sessions may be covered under your plan's therapy supports. Kid Sense Child Development can discuss funding options during your initial consultation.

About fine motor delay
Fine motor skills are the small, precise movements children use with their hands and fingers for play, self-care, and school. A fine motor skills delay describes when a child is taking longer than expected to develop these skills.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor delay?
Signs include difficulty holding pencils or cutlery, trouble with buttons or zips, messy handwriting, reluctance to draw or write, or clumsiness with small objects. An occupational therapist at Kid Sense Child Development can assess your child's skills through observation and standardised tests to identify specific areas needing support.
What happens during a fine motor therapy session?
Sessions are play-based and tailored to your child's interests and goals. The therapist might use activities like threading, cutting, drawing, building with blocks, or hand-strengthening games. They'll also provide strategies and activities you can practise at home to support progress between sessions.
Can occupational therapy help if my child has autism or ADHD?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing differences, but they can support fine motor skills regardless of underlying conditions. If you suspect your child has these conditions, your GP can arrange diagnostic assessment. Kid Sense Child Development works alongside other professionals to support your child's overall development.
