Services Little People Therapies offers for developmental delay
Early intervention is crucial for children with developmental delay, as addressing concerns during the early years can support better outcomes across physical, cognitive, and social skills. Little People Therapies offers early intervention services designed to identify areas where children may need additional support and implement tailored strategies to help them progress. Our occupational therapists work with children on activities such as fine-motor exercises—like threading beads or using adaptive utensils during mealtimes—to build hand strength and coordination. We also incorporate sensory activities, such as play-based exploration with different textures and movement experiences, to support overall development. Additionally, visual schedules and structured routines help children understand expectations and build independence in daily activities. Early intervention through Little People Therapies can be funded through the NDIS (2025-26 funding year) for eligible children, making professional support more accessible to families. Starting therapy early means children have more time to develop foundational skills that support learning, play, and social participation as they grow.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs early intervention support?
If you've noticed your child is slower to reach developmental milestones—such as sitting, walking, talking, or self-care skills—or if they seem to struggle with coordination or play, early intervention may help. Little People Therapies can discuss your concerns and work with you to identify areas where support could make a difference. An initial conversation with our team is a good starting point.
Can occupational therapy diagnose conditions like autism or developmental delay?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or specific developmental conditions—that requires assessment by a paediatrician or specialist. However, Little People Therapies can identify functional difficulties and support your child's development regardless of diagnosis. We work alongside other professionals to help your child thrive.
Is early intervention covered by the NDIS?
Many children with developmental delay are eligible for NDIS funding (2025-26 year) to access early intervention services. Little People Therapies can discuss your child's eligibility and help you understand how funding might support therapy. We recommend contacting the NDIS or speaking with our team about your specific situation.
