Services Kids Play offers for fine motor delay
Fine motor skills are essential for everyday activities like eating, dressing, and playing. Kids Play supports children experiencing fine motor delays through targeted handwriting intervention, which directly addresses the coordination and strength needed for pencil control and letter formation. During handwriting sessions at Kids Play, occupational therapists use evidence-based strategies tailored to each child's needs. Examples include finger strengthening exercises using therapy putty and tweezers to build the small muscles required for writing, pencil grip training with adaptive pencil grips to establish proper positioning, and multi-sensory writing activities such as tracing letters in sand or shaving cream to improve motor planning. These interventions help children develop the confidence and capability to participate in school and home writing tasks. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025–26 financial year, Kids Play can discuss how occupational therapy services may be covered under your plan. Every child develops at their own pace, and Kids Play works collaboratively with families and schools to support gradual progress in fine motor function.

About fine motor delay

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor delay?
Signs include difficulty holding a pencil, reluctance to write or draw, messy handwriting, trouble with buttons or zips, or clumsiness with small objects. An occupational therapist at Kids Play can assess your child's skills and discuss observations with you. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental coordination disorder—your GP or paediatrician can refer you for formal diagnosis if needed.
What happens during a handwriting session at Kids Play?
Sessions are individualised and may include warm-up activities to prepare the hand and fingers, specific exercises targeting grip strength or pencil control, and functional writing practice. Your child might use therapy putty, adaptive pencils, or sensory materials. Kids Play therapists work at your child's pace and communicate progress with families regularly.
Can Kids Play help if my child receives NDIS funding?
Kids Play can discuss NDIS eligibility and how occupational therapy services may be funded under your plan for the 2025–26 financial year. Contact the clinic directly to confirm registration status and to explore funding options that suit your family's needs.
