Services LEAP Centre offers for fine motor delay
LEAP Centre lists Fine Motor and Handwriting as services that may support children experiencing fine motor skills delay. Fine motor skills involve the small, coordinated movements of the hands and fingers needed for everyday tasks like fastening buttons, using cutlery, and drawing. According to its listing, the clinic addresses these areas through targeted activities and interventions.
Fine motor work typically involves exercises designed to strengthen hand muscles and improve coordination. Examples of activities that occupational therapists commonly use include threading beads or small objects, using tweezers or pegs to develop finger strength and precision, and manipulating playdough or putty to build hand endurance. Handwriting services, as listed by LEAP Centre, often focus on the foundational skills needed before formal writing—such as pencil grip, hand positioning, and letter formation—as well as strategies to make writing more efficient and comfortable.
Children with fine motor delay may benefit from a graded approach that starts with play-based activities before progressing to functional tasks. LEAP Centre's listing indicates it works with children in the Chatswood area to address these developmental areas. Families accessing NDIS funding (2025-26) may be able to use their plan to support occupational therapy services, though LEAP Centre's NDIS registration status has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Parents are encouraged to contact the clinic directly to discuss how services align with their child's needs and any funding arrangements.
