Services Kids At Max offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor abilities. Fine motor skills—like grasping, pinching, and hand-eye coordination—are essential for everyday activities such as writing, drawing, eating, and dressing. At Kids At Max, our occupational therapists work with children to strengthen these foundational skills through targeted, play-based interventions. We might use activities like threading beads or playdough manipulation to build hand strength and control, or introduce adaptive utensils and grips to support independence during mealtimes. Visual supports and structured practice routines help children consolidate new skills over time. Kids At Max recognises that developmental delay is individual, and we tailor our approach to each child's needs and interests. If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding (2025-26), our team can discuss how therapy costs might be covered. We work collaboratively with families and other professionals to support your child's progress in a way that feels manageable and meaningful.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has developmental delay?
Developmental delay is identified when children reach milestones later than expected. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose developmental delay, but we can assess your child's fine motor and functional skills and discuss observations with you. Your GP or paediatrician can provide formal assessment and diagnosis. If you have concerns about your child's development, speaking with your healthcare provider is a good first step.
What should I expect at Kids At Max during our first visit?
During your first appointment, our occupational therapist will chat with you about your child's history, strengths, and areas where you'd like support. We'll observe your child during play and everyday activities to understand their fine motor abilities and any challenges. We'll then discuss findings with you and work together to create a plan that fits your family's goals and lifestyle.
Can NDIS funding help cover therapy at Kids At Max?
Many families access occupational therapy through NDIS funding. If your child has an NDIS plan, therapy costs may be covered depending on your plan's goals and budget allocation. We recommend checking your plan details or contacting the NDIA. Our team can also discuss funding options when you contact us to book an appointment.
