Common questions
How do occupational therapists assess fine motor delay?
Occupational therapists typically observe how a child handles everyday tasks like writing, using cutlery, or fastening buttons, and may use standardised assessments to measure hand strength and coordination. KidSkills Occupational Therapy would conduct an initial assessment to identify specific areas of difficulty and functional impact before recommending a therapy plan.
Can fine motor delay be linked to autism or ADHD?
Fine motor difficulties can occur alongside autism, ADHD, or developmental coordination disorder, but an occupational therapist cannot diagnose these conditions. If a parent suspects autism or ADHD, they should consult their GP or a paediatrician. KidSkills Occupational Therapy can support fine motor skills regardless of underlying diagnosis.
