Early intervention Support at Kids Matters OT — Yeerongpilly, QLD

Early childhood development relies on foundational skills in fine motor control and sensory processing. At Kids Matters OT in Yeerongpilly, our occupational therapists support children by addressing these key areas through tailored interventions. Fine motor development—such as grasping, hand strength, and coordination—is essential for self-care tasks like dressing and eating, as well as pre-writing skills. We use activities like threading beads, playdough manipulation, and scissor work to build these capabilities. Sensory processing support helps children interpret and respond appropriately to sensory input from their environment. Kids Matters OT incorporates sensory strategies such as weighted lap pads during activities, tactile exploration with different textures, and movement-based play on therapy equipment to help regulate responses. For families with NDIS plans, occupational therapy is a funded support category under the 2025-26 scheme, and our NDIS registration means we can directly bill your plan. Early intervention during the preschool years creates strong foundations for learning, social participation, and independence as children progress through school.
