Developmental delay Support at Kids Can! OT — Across QLD
Kids Can! OT in Across QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Kids Can! OT offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor abilities. Kids Can! OT supports children experiencing developmental delay by targeting fine motor development through tailored interventions. Fine motor skills—such as grasping, pinching, and hand-eye coordination—are essential for everyday activities like writing, eating, and self-care. At Kids Can! OT, therapists use evidence-based activities to build these skills progressively. Examples include threading beads or pegs to strengthen finger control, scissor practice with adaptive equipment to develop hand strength, and play-based activities using playdough or construction toys to improve dexterity and bilateral coordination. The clinic works collaboratively with families to embed these strategies into daily routines at home. If your child has an NDIS plan, therapy sessions may be funded through your support budget for 2025-26, though Kids Can! OT's NDIS registration status should be confirmed directly. For families without NDIS support, private sessions are also available. Early intervention during developmental periods can support skill acquisition and confidence-building.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has developmental delay?
Developmental delay is typically identified when children aren't meeting expected milestones for their age across areas like motor skills, communication, or self-care. Your GP, child health nurse, or early childhood educator may raise concerns. Kids Can! OT can assess fine motor development, but occupational therapists cannot diagnose developmental delay—this requires assessment by a paediatrician or developmental specialist. An OT assessment helps identify specific support needs.
Will occupational therapy help my child catch up to their peers?
Occupational therapy supports skill development and independence in daily activities. Kids Can! OT works with your child's individual abilities and pace, using strategies tailored to their needs. While therapy can facilitate progress, outcomes vary between children. Regular sessions combined with home practice typically support meaningful improvements in fine motor skills and functional abilities.
Can Kids Can! OT help if my child has autism or ADHD?
Kids Can! OT can support children with autism or ADHD by addressing fine motor and functional skills. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or other conditions—diagnosis requires assessment by a paediatrician or specialist. If your child has a diagnosis, OT can complement other supports and help develop practical strategies for daily activities.
