Developmental delay Support at Liberty Allied Health — Tea Tree Gully, SA
Liberty Allied Health in Tea Tree Gully, SA lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Liberty Allied Health offers for developmental delay
Fine motor skills are essential for children's everyday activities—from holding a pencil to fastening buttons—and developmental delay can impact these abilities significantly. At Liberty Allied Health in Tea Tree Gully, our occupational therapists work with children to build strength, coordination, and control in their hands and fingers through targeted interventions. We use practical, play-based activities tailored to each child's needs and interests. Examples include threading beads and using tweezers to develop pincer grip, scissor skills practice with adaptive equipment, and hand-strengthening exercises using therapy putty or resistance tools. Our therapists also address the underlying factors affecting fine motor development, such as posture and upper limb stability. Many families access our services through NDIS funding, which can cover occupational therapy support for eligible children under the 2025-26 scheme. Liberty Allied Health works collaboratively with families and other professionals to ensure interventions are consistent across home and clinic settings, supporting your child's progress toward greater independence in self-care and learning activities.

About developmental delay
Developmental delay describes when a child has not yet reached one or more developmental milestones in the expected timeframe. It is a description, not a single diagnosis.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor delay?
Signs may include difficulty holding pencils or cutlery, trouble with buttons or zips, messy handwriting, or reluctance to engage in drawing or craft activities. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills compared to developmental milestones. However, an OT cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental coordination disorder—that requires a medical professional. A thorough assessment helps identify specific areas needing support.
Can Liberty Allied Health help if my child has been diagnosed with a developmental delay?
Yes. Our occupational therapists work with children experiencing developmental delays across multiple areas, including fine motor skills. We create individualised therapy plans based on your child's strengths and goals. We work alongside other professionals involved in your child's care to provide coordinated support. An initial assessment helps determine the best approach for your child's needs.
Does NDIS funding cover occupational therapy at Liberty Allied Health?
Many children with developmental delay are eligible for NDIS support. Funding availability depends on your child's individual circumstances and NDIS approval. We recommend discussing your child's eligibility with the NDIA and exploring what supports may be available under the 2025-26 scheme. Our team can provide information about how therapy services are typically funded.
