Services Leaps and Bounds Disability Services offers for fine motor delay
Fine motor skills are essential for everyday activities like writing, drawing, fastening buttons, and using cutlery. At Leaps and Bounds Disability Services, our occupational therapists work with children to strengthen the small muscles in their hands and fingers through targeted, play-based activities. We use a range of interventions tailored to each child's needs and interests. For example, we might incorporate threading beads or pegs to build hand strength and coordination, use adaptive pencil grips and writing tools to improve letter formation, or introduce hand-strengthening exercises disguised as fun games. Our therapists also work on bilateral coordination—using both hands together—through activities like cutting with scissors or manipulating playdough. If your child is NDIS-registered, fine motor support through Leaps and Bounds Disability Services can often be funded under your child's plan, helping to make ongoing therapy accessible. We focus on building confidence and independence so children can participate fully in school, play, and self-care routines.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor delay?
Signs include difficulty holding a pencil, struggling with buttons or zips, poor scissor control, messy handwriting, or avoiding drawing and writing tasks. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills and identify specific areas needing support. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental coordination disorder—that requires a medical professional.
Can NDIS funding cover fine motor therapy at Leaps and Bounds?
Yes, if your child is NDIS-registered, fine motor support is often eligible under your plan's therapy budget. Leaps and Bounds Disability Services is NDIS-registered, so you can use your funding with us. We recommend checking your plan details or contacting your NDIS planner to confirm your available therapy allocation for 2025-26.
How long does it take to see improvement in fine motor skills?
Progress varies depending on your child's starting point and how often they practise. Most children show noticeable improvements within 8–12 weeks of consistent therapy and home practice. Our therapists at Leaps and Bounds will set realistic goals with you and track progress regularly, adjusting activities as your child develops.
