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 addresses the underlying strength, coordination, and control needed for pencil grip 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 theraputty or clothespegs to build the small muscles required for writing, pencil grip training with adaptive pencils or grips to establish proper positioning, and multi-sensory writing activities such as tracing letters in sand or shaving cream to improve motor planning and hand-eye coordination. The clinic recognises that fine motor development varies widely among children, and therapy is individualised accordingly. If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, Kids Play can discuss how therapy costs might be covered through your plan. Whether accessing services privately or through NDIS support, the team at Kids Play works collaboratively with families to build skills that support your child's independence and confidence in writing and fine motor tasks.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor delay?
Signs may include difficulty holding a pencil, messy handwriting, reluctance to draw or write, trouble with buttons or zips, or clumsiness with small objects. An occupational therapist at Kids Play can assess your child's skills through observation and standardised activities to identify any delays. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD; they focus on functional abilities and support.
What happens during a handwriting session at Kids Play?
Sessions are tailored to your child's needs and may include warm-up activities to prepare the hand and fingers, specific exercises targeting grip strength or pencil control, and practise with letter formation or writing tasks. The occupational therapist will explain strategies you can use at home to support progress between sessions.
Can Kids Play help if my child is on an NDIS plan?
Kids Play can discuss NDIS funding options with you. While registration status is being confirmed, the clinic welcomes conversations about how therapy might be funded through your plan in the 2025-26 financial year. Contact Kids Play directly to explore what arrangements may be available for your family.
