Services Link Health and Community – Oakleigh offers for developmental delay

Children with developmental delay often experience challenges with fine motor skills—the small, coordinated movements needed for tasks like writing, buttoning clothes, and self-feeding. Link Health and Community – Oakleigh supports these difficulties through targeted occupational therapy that builds strength, coordination, and confidence. Fine motor interventions might include activities such as threading beads or using tweezers to pick up small objects, which develop hand strength and finger control. Therapists may also use adaptive equipment or modified grips to make everyday tasks more manageable. Another common approach involves play-based activities that naturally encourage hand-eye coordination, such as puzzles or construction play. Link Health and Community – Oakleigh works with families to understand each child's unique needs and goals. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025-26 arrangements, occupational therapy services can be covered as part of your plan. The clinic can discuss funding options during your initial consultation, though NDIS registration status should be confirmed directly with the service.

Common questions

How do I know if my child has a fine motor delay?

Signs may include difficulty holding a pencil, struggling with buttons or zips, messy eating, or avoiding activities requiring hand control. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills through observation and play-based activities. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental disorders—a paediatrician or developmental specialist does that. Link Health and Community – Oakleigh can help identify specific areas needing support.

What happens during a fine motor therapy session?

Sessions are typically play-based and tailored to your child's interests and abilities. The therapist might use games, crafts, or everyday activities to build skills. They'll work on things like hand strength, coordination, and planning. You'll receive strategies to practise at home. Sessions usually last 45–60 minutes, and the therapist will discuss progress and goals regularly with you.

Can NDIS funding cover occupational therapy at this clinic?

Many children with developmental delay are eligible for NDIS support, which may include occupational therapy services under the 2025-26 funding arrangements. Link Health and Community – Oakleigh can discuss your funding options during consultation. Contact the clinic directly to confirm their current NDIS registration status and how they can support your child's plan.
