Services Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy offers for fine motor delay
Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy supports children experiencing fine motor skills delay through targeted, play-based interventions tailored to each child's needs. The Fine Motor service focuses on building hand strength, coordination, and dexterity through engaging activities such as threading beads, using tweezers to pick up small objects, and manipulating playdough to develop finger isolation and grip control. The Handwriting service complements this by addressing the foundational skills needed for pencil control and letter formation, including posture, hand positioning, and pencil grip. Therapists at Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy may use strategies like weighted pencils or adaptive grips to support comfort and control during writing tasks. Both services work together to help children gain confidence and independence in daily activities. Families may be eligible for NDIS funding (2025–26) to support these services, depending on their child's plan. An initial assessment will help determine your child's specific needs and the most appropriate intervention approach.

About fine motor delay

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor delay?
Signs may include difficulty holding a pencil, struggling with buttons or zips, messy handwriting, or avoiding fine motor activities. An occupational therapist at Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy can assess your child's skills through observation and play-based activities. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental coordination disorder—a paediatrician or developmental specialist can do this if needed.
What should I expect during the first appointment?
Your child will participate in play-based activities and everyday tasks while the therapist observes their fine motor skills, hand strength, and coordination. You'll discuss your child's daily routines, concerns, and goals. The therapist will explain findings and recommend a tailored intervention plan. Sessions are designed to be engaging and child-friendly rather than formal or clinical.
Can NDIS funding cover these services?
Many families access occupational therapy through NDIS plans (2025–26 pricing applies). Eligibility depends on your child's plan and goals. Monash Health Community Child and Family Occupational Therapy can discuss funding options during your initial contact. If you're unsure about your NDIS eligibility, the team can provide guidance on next steps.
