Early intervention Support at LEAP Centre — Across NSW
LEAP Centre in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for early intervention.
Services LEAP Centre offers for early intervention
Early childhood development relies on strong foundations in movement, coordination, and sensory awareness. LEAP Centre supports children in this critical phase through targeted fine motor and sensory processing services. Fine motor work helps children develop the hand strength and coordination needed for everyday tasks like holding utensils, grasping pencils, and manipulating small objects—essential skills for independence and learning. At LEAP Centre, this might involve activities such as threading beads, using tweezers to pick up small items, or finger painting to build hand control. Sensory processing support helps children organise and respond appropriately to sensory information from their environment. Interventions may include work with sensory swings to develop body awareness, use of weighted equipment like lap pads or vests to provide calming input, or exploration of different textures through play-based activities. These services complement early intervention goals by addressing foundational skills that support participation in daily routines, learning, and social engagement. LEAP Centre is NDIS-registered, meaning many families can access these services through NDIS plans (2025-26 funding arrangements apply). An occupational therapist will work with your child and family to identify specific needs and develop strategies tailored to your child's developmental stage.

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?
If you've noticed delays in fine motor skills (like grasping or coordination), difficulties with sensory experiences (covering ears, avoiding textures), or challenges with everyday tasks, an occupational therapist can help. LEAP Centre can conduct an assessment to understand your child's strengths and areas for support. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes, so discussing concerns with your GP or early childhood educator is a good first step.
Can occupational therapy diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose these conditions—that requires assessment by a paediatrician or psychologist. However, an OT at LEAP Centre can identify sensory or motor difficulties and provide support to help your child manage everyday activities more effectively, regardless of diagnosis. We work collaboratively with other professionals involved in your child's care.
Can I access LEAP Centre's services through the NDIS?
Yes, LEAP Centre is NDIS-registered. If your child has an approved NDIS plan, occupational therapy services may be funded under your plan (2025-26 funding arrangements apply). We recommend checking your plan details or contacting the NDIS to confirm your child's eligibility and available funding for allied health services.
