Services Link Health and Community – Oakleigh offers for developmental delay

Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor abilities like grasping, hand-eye coordination, and pencil control. Link Health and Community – Oakleigh offers fine motor support tailored to each child's developmental stage and needs. Our occupational therapists work with children on activities designed to strengthen hand muscles and improve coordination—such as threading beads, using adaptive scissors, and practising pencil grip with specially designed tools. We also incorporate play-based activities like playdough manipulation and construction tasks that build the foundations for writing and self-care skills. Every child's journey is different, and Link Health and Community – Oakleigh takes an individualised approach to support their unique development. If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding in 2025–26, our team can discuss how occupational therapy services might be incorporated into your plan. While we cannot diagnose developmental conditions, we work collaboratively with families and other professionals to support your child's progress in everyday activities.

Common questions

How do I know if my child needs fine motor support?

Signs include difficulty holding pencils or utensils, trouble with buttons or zips, poor hand strength, or reluctance to engage in drawing or writing activities. An occupational therapist at Link Health and Community – Oakleigh can observe your child's skills during play and everyday tasks to identify areas where support might help. This isn't a diagnosis—it's about understanding your child's current abilities and planning next steps together.

Can occupational therapy help my child catch up developmentally?

Occupational therapy supports children in developing skills at their own pace through structured, play-based activities. We focus on building confidence and independence in everyday tasks. Progress looks different for each child. Link Health and Community – Oakleigh works with families to set realistic goals and celebrate small steps forward, rather than promising specific timelines.

Does Link Health and Community – Oakleigh accept NDIS funding?

NDIS registration status has not been confirmed. We recommend contacting the clinic directly to discuss funding options available for 2025–26 and how occupational therapy services might be accessed. Our team can also guide you through conversations with your NDIS planner if you have an active plan.
