Services Making Sense Occupational Therapy offers for fine motor delay
Making Sense Occupational Therapy lists early intervention as a service that may support children experiencing fine motor skills delay. Early intervention in occupational therapy typically focuses on building foundational hand strength, coordination, and control during the preschool and early school years, when motor patterns are still developing. According to the clinic's listing, early intervention services may include activities such as threading beads or pegs to develop pincer grip and hand-eye coordination, play-based tasks involving playdough manipulation to build finger and hand strength, and scissor skills practice with graded cutting activities. Making Sense Occupational Therapy may also incorporate sensory preparation strategies—such as tactile exploration of different textures—to support a child's readiness for fine motor tasks. For families accessing NDIS funding in 2025-26, early intervention support may be funded as part of capacity-building or core supports, depending on the child's plan. Parents considering this clinic should discuss with the therapist how specific activities will be tailored to their child's age, interests, and current skill level, as well as how progress will be monitored over time.

About fine motor delay

Common questions
How does an occupational therapist assess fine motor delay?
An occupational therapist typically observes how a child holds and uses pencils, utensils, and small objects, and assesses their ability to perform age-appropriate tasks like cutting, fastening buttons, or building with blocks. Making Sense Occupational Therapy would gather information about the child's developmental history and current difficulties to identify specific areas needing support. Assessment findings help guide the direction of therapy.
Can occupational therapy help my child if they have autism or ADHD?
Occupational therapists can support children with autism or ADHD by addressing fine motor and sensory challenges that may co-occur. However, an occupational therapist cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing difficulties—those diagnoses come from other health professionals. Making Sense Occupational Therapy can work alongside other supports to help with motor skills regardless of diagnosis.
Is Making Sense Occupational Therapy registered with the NDIS?
Making Sense Occupational Therapy is listed as NDIS registered in the directory. However, this information is self-reported and has not been independently verified. Parents should confirm current registration status directly with the clinic before assuming NDIS funding eligibility, as registration details can change.
