Services Kids Connect Therapy offers for fine motor delay
Fine motor skills delays can affect a child's ability to perform everyday tasks like self-care, play, and learning. Kids Connect Therapy offers handwriting support as a key service to address these challenges. Through targeted occupational therapy, our team works with children to develop the strength, coordination, and control needed for writing and other fine motor activities. Specific interventions at Kids Connect Therapy may include finger strengthening exercises using therapy putty or tweezers to pick up small objects, pencil grip training with adaptive pencils or grips to improve control, and hand-eye coordination activities such as threading beads or completing puzzles. We also incorporate play-based activities that naturally build fine motor skills in an engaging way. Many families access our services through NDIS funding; while Kids Connect Therapy's NDIS registration status is currently being confirmed, we encourage you to discuss funding options during your initial consultation. Our occupational therapists take a holistic approach, considering your child's individual needs and goals to create a therapy plan that supports their development and confidence in daily activities.

About fine motor delay

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor skills delay?
Signs may include difficulty holding a pencil, messy handwriting, trouble with buttons or zips, reluctance to draw or write, or clumsiness with small objects. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills and identify specific areas needing support. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD; a medical professional is needed for diagnosis.
What should I expect during the first appointment at Kids Connect Therapy?
Your initial appointment typically includes a discussion about your child's developmental history and concerns, observation of your child's fine motor abilities during play and structured tasks, and discussion of goals and a therapy plan. The occupational therapist will explain findings in parent-friendly language and outline how handwriting and other services can help.
Can my child's therapy be funded through the NDIS?
Many families use NDIS funding for occupational therapy services. Kids Connect Therapy is currently confirming its NDIS registration status. We recommend contacting the clinic directly to discuss your funding options and eligibility, including whether NDIS funding may apply to your situation for the 2025-26 financial year.
