Developmental delay Support at Kid Speak — Across WA
Kid Speak in Across WA lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Kid Speak offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor control—the ability to use small hand and finger movements for tasks like writing, drawing, and self-care. Kid Speak supports children experiencing developmental delay through targeted fine motor intervention. Our occupational therapists work with children on activities such as threading beads and pegs to build hand strength and coordination, scissor skills practice to develop cutting control, and hand-strengthening exercises using playdough or resistance tools. These activities are embedded into play-based sessions that feel engaging rather than therapeutic. Kid Speak can help families understand whether NDIS funding might support ongoing therapy, though we recommend discussing eligibility with the NDIS directly, as registration status varies. Our approach focuses on building confidence and independence in everyday tasks, working collaboratively with families to identify goals that matter most. Whether your child is accessing NDIS support under the 2025-26 funding arrangements or exploring private therapy options, we tailor our approach to your child's individual needs and pace of development.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has developmental delay?
Developmental delay is identified when a child is not meeting typical milestones for their age across areas like motor skills, communication, or self-care. Your GP, early childhood educator, or health visitor can raise concerns. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose developmental delay but can assess fine motor skills and recommend next steps. If you're unsure, it's worth discussing observations with your child's healthcare provider.
Can Kid Speak help my child catch up with peers?
Kid Speak provides targeted fine motor support to help your child develop skills at their own pace. Through structured play and purposeful activities, many children make meaningful progress. However, every child develops differently, and outcomes vary. We focus on building confidence and independence in daily tasks rather than guaranteeing specific timelines. Regular communication with your therapist helps track progress.
Does Kid Speak accept NDIS funding?
NDIS registration status for Kid Speak is not currently confirmed. We recommend contacting the clinic directly to discuss funding options available to your family. If your child is NDIS-eligible, you can use your plan funding with registered providers. Kid Speak can also discuss private therapy arrangements and may be able to guide you through NDIS processes.
