Services Link Health and Community – Oakleigh offers for fine motor delay

Link Health and Community – Oakleigh provides dedicated fine motor support to help children develop the hand strength, coordination, and control needed for everyday tasks like writing, fastening buttons, and using cutlery. Our occupational therapists work with each child to identify specific challenges and create tailored intervention plans. Common activities used during sessions include threading and bead work to build finger dexterity, scissor skills training with graduated difficulty levels, and hand-strengthening exercises using therapy putty or resistance tools. We also incorporate play-based activities that naturally develop fine motor control, such as construction play, drawing, and manipulative games. Link Health and Community – Oakleigh can support families accessing NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing arrangements apply), helping coordinate therapy within your plan. Whether your child is working towards self-care independence or school readiness, our team focuses on practical strategies you can reinforce at home. We work collaboratively with families, schools, and other professionals to ensure consistent progress across all environments.

About fine motor delay

Fine motor skills are the small, precise movements children use with their hands and fingers for play, self-care, and school. A fine motor skills delay describes when a child is taking longer than expected to develop these skills.

Common questions

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

Signs include difficulty holding pencils or cutlery, trouble with buttons or zips, messy handwriting, or reluctance to participate in drawing or craft activities. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills and compare them to developmental milestones. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental coordination disorder—this requires a medical professional. An initial assessment at Link Health and Community – Oakleigh can help clarify whether fine motor support would be beneficial.

Can NDIS funding cover fine motor therapy at your clinic?

Link Health and Community – Oakleigh can work with families who have NDIS plans that include occupational therapy support. NDIS funding arrangements for 2025–26 vary depending on individual plans and goals. We recommend discussing your child's plan with your NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator to confirm what therapy is funded. Our team can also help explain how fine motor goals fit within your plan.

What can I do at home to support fine motor development?

Everyday activities are powerful: cooking together (mixing, pouring), playing with construction toys, drawing, threading beads, and practising self-care like dressing and eating. Our therapists at Link Health and Community – Oakleigh provide specific home activity recommendations tailored to your child's needs and interests. Consistency and making activities fun are key—short, playful practice is more effective than forced drills.
