Services Live & Learn Therapy offers for fine motor delay
Fine motor skills are essential for everyday activities like eating, dressing, and playing. At Live & Learn Therapy, our occupational therapists work with children experiencing fine motor delays through targeted handwriting support and tailored interventions. Handwriting therapy addresses the underlying skills needed for pencil control, letter formation, and writing stamina. During sessions, children might engage in activities such as threading beads or using tweezers to pick up small objects, which strengthen hand muscles and coordination. Live & Learn Therapy also incorporates play-based exercises like playdough manipulation, scissor skills practice, and finger painting to build dexterity in a fun, engaging way. Our therapists analyse each child's specific challenges—whether it's grip strength, hand-eye coordination, or letter spacing—and design individualised programs accordingly. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, occupational therapy services may be covered under your plan. We work with families to understand their goals and create practical strategies that support development both in the clinic and at home, helping children build confidence in their fine motor abilities.

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, messy handwriting, avoiding drawing or writing activities, or struggling with buttons and zips. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills and identify specific areas needing support. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD—a paediatrician or specialist would do that. Live & Learn Therapy can help determine whether fine motor intervention would benefit your child.
What happens during a handwriting session at Live & Learn Therapy?
Sessions are tailored to your child's needs and may include warm-up activities to prepare the hand muscles, targeted exercises to improve pencil grip or letter formation, and practice with meaningful writing tasks. The therapist observes how your child approaches the activity and adjusts strategies to make learning enjoyable. Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes and include guidance for activities you can practise at home.
Can NDIS funding cover therapy at Live & Learn Therapy?
NDIS funding may cover occupational therapy services if your child is eligible and has therapy included in their plan for 2025-26. Funding arrangements vary based on individual plans. We recommend checking your NDIS plan details or contacting us to discuss how we can support your child and what funding options might apply to your situation.
