Services Marena Matthews offers for fine motor delay
Marena Matthews offers early intervention services specifically designed to support children experiencing fine motor skills delay. Early intervention focuses on identifying and addressing developmental concerns during the critical early years, when children's brains are most responsive to targeted support. At Marena Matthews, occupational therapists work with children on activities that build hand strength, coordination, and control—essential foundations for writing, self-care tasks, and play. Examples of interventions include finger strengthening exercises using playdough or threading activities, hand-eye coordination work through puzzle completion and craft tasks, and bilateral coordination practice with scissor skills and two-handed activities. The clinic may also incorporate sensory strategies, such as textured materials or weighted tools, to help children develop better body awareness and motor planning. Early intervention can be funded through the NDIS (2025–26 pricing arrangements) if your child is eligible, making professional support more accessible. Whether your child is registered with the NDIS or accessing services privately, Marena Matthews provides individualised assessment and therapy tailored to your child's specific needs and goals.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor skills delay?
Signs may include difficulty holding pencils or utensils, trouble with buttons or zips, messy handwriting, or reluctance to engage in drawing or writing activities. An occupational therapist at Marena Matthews can assess your child's skills and compare them to developmental milestones. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental coordination disorder—that requires a medical professional—but they can identify functional difficulties and recommend support.
Can Marena Matthews help if my child is on the NDIS?
Marena Matthews' NDIS registration status has not been confirmed, so we recommend contacting the clinic directly to discuss funding options. If registered, early intervention services for fine motor delay may be covered under your child's NDIS plan. If not registered, the clinic can still provide private occupational therapy services and may guide you on alternative funding pathways.
How long does it take to see improvement in fine motor skills?
Progress varies depending on your child's age, the severity of delay, and consistency of practice. Early intervention typically involves regular sessions combined with home activities recommended by the therapist at Marena Matthews. Many children show noticeable improvements within weeks to months, though development is gradual and individual. Your occupational therapist will monitor progress and adjust the therapy plan as needed.
