Developmental delay Support at Kids Matters OT — Highgate Hill, QLD
Kids Matters OT in Highgate Hill, QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Kids Matters OT offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor abilities. Kids Matters OT in Highgate Hill supports children experiencing developmental delay through targeted fine motor intervention. Fine motor skills—such as pencil grip, hand strength, and finger coordination—are essential for writing, self-care tasks like fastening buttons, and play activities. Our occupational therapists work with children using practical, play-based activities tailored to their developmental level. Examples include threading beads to build finger strength and coordination, using adaptive scissors and writing tools to develop pencil control, and engaging in hand-strengthening games with playdough or resistance putty. Kids Matters OT recognises that each child develops at their own pace, and early support can help bridge gaps and build confidence. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding (2025-26), occupational therapy services may be covered under your plan, making professional support more accessible. Our team collaborates with families and other professionals to ensure interventions complement your child's overall development and learning goals.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs fine motor support?
Signs include difficulty holding pencils or cutlery, trouble with buttons or zips, messy handwriting, or reluctance to engage in drawing or writing activities. Kids Matters OT can assess your child's skills and discuss your concerns. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose conditions like developmental coordination disorder, but can identify specific areas where support may help.
Can Kids Matters OT help if my child has been diagnosed with developmental delay?
Yes. Our occupational therapists work with children across the developmental spectrum. We focus on practical skills and strategies to support independence and participation in everyday activities. We'll work with you to set meaningful goals and monitor progress over time.
How does NDIS funding work with Kids Matters OT?
Kids Matters OT is NDIS registered. If your child has an approved NDIS plan, occupational therapy may be a funded support. We recommend discussing your plan details with us to understand how sessions are covered under 2025-26 funding arrangements and what costs may apply.
