Developmental delay Support at LEAP Centre — Across NSW
LEAP Centre in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services LEAP Centre offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor abilities. Fine motor skills—like holding a pencil, fastening buttons, or manipulating small objects—are essential for school readiness and everyday independence. At LEAP Centre, our occupational therapists work with children to build these skills through targeted, play-based activities tailored to each child's developmental level. Examples of interventions include threading and bead work to strengthen hand muscles and coordination, scissor skills training using adaptive equipment, and hand-strengthening exercises integrated into games and crafts. We also use positioning strategies and environmental modifications to support better control and confidence. Many families access LEAP Centre's services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy support for eligible children. Our therapists collaborate with families to set meaningful goals and monitor progress over time, helping children develop the fine motor foundations they need for learning and play.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a developmental delay affecting fine motor skills?
Signs may include difficulty holding utensils or pencils, trouble with buttons or zips, poor scissor control, or reluctance to engage in fine motor activities. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills and discuss observations with you. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD—that requires a medical professional. LEAP Centre can help identify where your child needs support.
Can LEAP Centre help my child if we're not sure about NDIS eligibility?
Yes. While NDIS funding can support occupational therapy services for eligible children, LEAP Centre works with families using various funding arrangements. We recommend discussing your situation with our team to explore available options and next steps for your child's support.
What should I expect during occupational therapy at LEAP Centre?
Sessions are play-based and tailored to your child's interests and needs. The occupational therapist will assess your child, set goals with you, and use activities like crafts, games, and structured exercises to build fine motor skills. You'll receive guidance on supporting your child's development at home between sessions.
