Services KidSkills Occupational Therapy offers for developmental delay
KidSkills Occupational Therapy lists fine motor support as a service offering that may be relevant for children experiencing developmental delay. Fine motor skills—the ability to control small hand and finger movements—are foundational for everyday activities such as writing, fastening buttons, using cutlery, and manipulating toys. When children show delays in these areas, targeted intervention can help build strength, coordination, and confidence.
According to its listing, KidSkills Occupational Therapy may address fine motor development through activities and strategies tailored to individual needs. Examples of approaches commonly used in paediatric occupational therapy include hand-strengthening exercises using therapy putty or tweezers to pick up small objects, scissor-cutting activities to develop finger isolation and control, and pencil-grip training with adaptive pencil grips or triangular holders. The clinic may also incorporate play-based activities that naturally build fine motor capacity, such as threading beads, building with construction toys, or drawing and colouring tasks.
Parents considering support for developmental delay should note that NDIS registration for KidSkills Occupational Therapy has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Families with NDIS plans may wish to clarify funding eligibility and whether the clinic accepts plan-managed or self-managed funding arrangements. For those without NDIS support, private fees would typically apply. A consultation with the clinic can help determine whether fine motor intervention aligns with a child's developmental profile and goals.
