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, which are essential for everyday activities like writing, eating, and self-care. Fine motor development involves the coordination of small hand and finger movements, and delays in this area can impact a child's independence and confidence. Through targeted interventions, the clinic helps children strengthen hand muscles and improve coordination. Examples of activities used include threading beads or buttons to develop pincer grip strength, using adaptive utensils and grips during mealtimes to encourage proper hand positioning, and scissor skills practice with graduated difficulty levels. The occupational therapists at Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy work collaboratively with families to embed these strategies into daily routines at home and school. For families accessing NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, occupational therapy services may be covered under participant plans, depending on individual circumstances and goals. The clinic can discuss funding options and support families in understanding how therapy aligns with their child's developmental needs.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor delay?
Signs may include difficulty holding pencils or cutlery, struggling with buttons or zips, poor handwriting, or reluctance to engage in drawing or craft activities. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills through observation and play-based activities. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose developmental conditions—a paediatrician or developmental specialist would do this. Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy can help identify specific areas needing support.
What happens during an initial appointment at Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy?
The occupational therapist will chat with you about your child's daily routines, strengths, and challenges. They'll observe your child playing and completing age-appropriate tasks to understand their fine motor abilities. Together, you'll discuss goals that matter to your family. This collaborative approach ensures therapy focuses on skills that make a real difference in your child's daily life and independence.
Can NDIS funding cover occupational therapy for developmental delay?
NDIS funding may support occupational therapy services in the 2025-26 financial year, depending on your child's plan and goals. Eligibility and funding amounts vary. Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy can discuss your funding options and help clarify what services might be covered. Contact the clinic directly to explore what's available for your family's situation.
