Early intervention Support at Making Milestones — Welland, SA

Making Milestones lists fine motor and sensory processing support as services relevant to early childhood development. Fine motor skills—such as grasping, pinching, and hand-eye coordination—are foundational for self-care tasks like feeding and dressing, as well as play and early learning. According to its listing, the clinic may use activities such as threading beads, play-dough manipulation, and scissor practice to build these capacities. Sensory processing relates to how children interpret touch, movement, sound, and other sensory input; difficulties in this area can affect behaviour, attention, and comfort during daily routines. Making Milestones lists sensory processing as a service area, and interventions typically include use of sensory equipment (such as weighted blankets or fidget tools), movement-based activities (like balance beam work or controlled swinging), and environmental modifications to reduce overwhelming input. Children with early developmental delays or sensory sensitivities may benefit from these approaches. Families accessing NDIS funding in 2025-26 may be able to direct support towards occupational therapy services listed by registered providers; however, NDIS registration status has not been independently verified for this listing. Parents considering support should discuss their child's specific needs and funding eligibility with the clinic directly.
