Services Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy offers for developmental delay
Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy supports children with developmental delay by addressing fine motor skills—the ability to use hands and fingers with precision and control. Fine motor development is foundational for everyday activities like self-care, play, and learning. The clinic's occupational therapists work with children through targeted activities tailored to their individual needs and developmental stage. Examples of interventions include threading and bead work to strengthen finger dexterity, scissor skills practice with graded activities, and hand-strengthening exercises using playdough or resistance tools. Therapists may also incorporate play-based learning, such as construction activities or drawing, to build coordination naturally. Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy can discuss how NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements) may support therapy sessions if your child is registered, helping families access ongoing support. Early intervention in fine motor skills can support participation in school, self-care routines, and peer play, contributing to your child's overall development and confidence.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs fine motor support?
Signs include difficulty holding pencils or utensils, trouble with buttons or zips, reluctance to draw or write, or clumsiness with small objects. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills and discuss observations with you. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose developmental conditions—your GP or paediatrician can help identify underlying causes.
What should I expect during therapy at Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy?
Sessions typically involve play-based activities, hands-on practice, and skill-building tailored to your child's interests and needs. Therapists work collaboratively with families and may provide strategies to practise at home. Sessions usually last 45–60 minutes, and your therapist will discuss progress and goals with you regularly.
Can NDIS funding help pay for therapy?
If your child is NDIS-registered, occupational therapy may be funded under your plan. Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy can discuss funding options and eligibility. Costs vary based on 2025-26 pricing arrangements and your individual plan. Contact the clinic directly for specific information about your situation.
