Early intervention Support at LEAP Centre — Chatswood, NSW
LEAP Centre in Chatswood, NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for early intervention.
Services LEAP Centre offers for early intervention
Early childhood development relies on foundational skills in fine motor control and sensory processing. At LEAP Centre in Chatswood, occupational therapists support children by addressing these key areas through tailored intervention. Fine motor work helps children develop the hand strength and coordination needed for self-care tasks like dressing and feeding, as well as pre-writing skills. LEAP Centre uses graded activities such as threading beads, scissor practice, and playdough manipulation to build these capabilities progressively. Sensory processing support helps children regulate their responses to touch, movement, and environmental input—essential for learning and social participation. Interventions might include work with sensory swings, weighted tools during fine motor tasks, or structured sensory circuits that combine movement and tactile exploration. These services can be funded through the NDIS (2025–26 funding year) for eligible children, though funding arrangements vary by individual plan. An occupational therapist at LEAP Centre will work with your family to identify which areas need support and design activities that fit naturally into your child's daily routines at home and in early education settings.

About early intervention
Early childhood is a time of rapid development across play, movement, communication, self-care, and social skills. When concerns about a child's early development arise, paediatric occupational therapy is one of the allied health supports often involved.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs occupational therapy for early development?
Signs include difficulty with self-care (dressing, feeding), avoiding certain textures or movements, delayed fine motor skills (drawing, grasping), or challenges with coordination. An initial consultation at LEAP Centre can help identify whether occupational therapy would be beneficial. An OT cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental delay, but can assess functional skills and recommend support.
Can NDIS funding cover services at LEAP Centre?
LEAP Centre may be accessed through NDIS funding for eligible children, depending on individual plans and 2025–26 funding arrangements. We recommend contacting the clinic directly to discuss your child's NDIS plan and how services can be arranged. Funding eligibility varies, so early discussion is helpful.
What happens during a typical session at LEAP Centre?
Sessions are play-based and tailored to your child's age and needs. An occupational therapist might use activities like sensory play, fine motor games, or movement exploration. Parents are involved in understanding strategies to support development at home. Sessions typically run 45–60 minutes, with guidance on activities between visits.
