Services Making Sense Occupational Therapy offers for developmental delay
Making Sense Occupational Therapy provides early intervention services specifically designed to support children experiencing developmental delay. Early intervention focuses on identifying areas where children may need additional support—such as motor skills, coordination, self-care abilities, or play development—and working with families to build these skills during crucial early years. At Making Sense Occupational Therapy in Maylands, therapists use practical, play-based activities tailored to each child's needs. Examples include fine-motor exercises like threading beads or scissor work to develop hand strength and control, gross-motor activities using equipment such as balance beams or stepping stones to improve coordination, and structured play routines that encourage problem-solving and social engagement. Early intervention can be funded through the NDIS (2025-26), making these services accessible to eligible families. As an NDIS-registered provider, Making Sense Occupational Therapy works collaboratively with families and other professionals to create individualised plans that address each child's specific developmental needs, helping them build confidence and independence in everyday activities.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs early intervention support?
If you've noticed your child is developing skills more slowly than peers—such as delayed speech, difficulty with movement, challenges with self-care tasks like dressing, or trouble playing with toys—an occupational therapist can assess their development. Making Sense Occupational Therapy can discuss your concerns and determine whether early intervention might help. Early identification often leads to better outcomes.
Can occupational therapy diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing difficulties. However, they can identify functional challenges in daily activities and skills. If you suspect your child has a specific condition, your GP can refer you to a paediatrician or developmental specialist for diagnosis, whilst Making Sense Occupational Therapy supports your child's everyday functioning.
How is early intervention funded, and can I access it through the NDIS?
Early intervention services can be funded through the NDIS if your child is eligible. Making Sense Occupational Therapy is NDIS-registered, meaning families with approved plans can access services using their funding allocation. Contact the clinic or the NDIA to discuss eligibility and how to get started with support.
