Developmental delay Support at Kids Matters OT — Yeerongpilly, QLD
Kids Matters OT in Yeerongpilly, QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Kids Matters OT offers for developmental delay
Children with developmental delay often experience difficulties with fine motor skills—the small, coordinated movements needed for everyday tasks like holding a pencil, fastening buttons, or using cutlery. Kids Matters OT in Yeerongpilly specialises in supporting these foundational skills through targeted interventions tailored to each child's needs. Fine motor therapy at Kids Matters OT might include activities such as threading beads or pegs to build hand strength and coordination, scissor skills practice to develop finger control, and hand-strengthening exercises using therapy putty or resistance tools. Our occupational therapists also work on grasp patterns and bilateral coordination—using both hands together effectively. These skills are essential for school readiness, independence, and confidence in daily activities. If your child has an NDIS plan, Kids Matters OT is registered to provide services under the scheme, and fine motor support can be funded as part of your child's plan goals for the 2025-26 financial year. Early intervention in fine motor development can make a meaningful difference in your child's participation at home, school, and in the community.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor delay?
Signs include difficulty holding pencils or cutlery, trouble with buttons or zips, messy handwriting, or reluctance to participate in drawing or craft activities. An occupational therapist at Kids Matters OT can assess your child's fine motor skills and compare them to developmental milestones. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD—they assess functional skills and recommend support strategies.
Can I access Kids Matters OT services through my child's NDIS plan?
Yes, Kids Matters OT is NDIS registered and can provide occupational therapy services funded through your child's NDIS plan. Fine motor support aligns with many plan goals around school readiness and daily living skills. Contact the clinic to discuss how your plan can support your child's therapy needs for the 2025-26 financial year.
What should I expect during a fine motor therapy session?
Sessions are play-based and engaging, incorporating activities that build hand strength, coordination, and control in a fun context. Your occupational therapist will work with your child on specific skills like pencil grip, scissor use, or fastening tasks. You'll receive strategies to practise at home, as consistency between therapy and daily routines supports progress.
