Developmental delay Support at National 360 Ballarat — Ballarat Central, VIC
National 360 Ballarat in Ballarat Central, VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services National 360 Ballarat offers for developmental delay
Early intervention is crucial for children with developmental delay, as addressing concerns during the early years can support skill development across motor, communication, social and self-care areas. National 360 Ballarat offers early intervention services designed to identify areas where children may need additional support and to implement strategies that help them progress at their own pace. During sessions, occupational therapists might use activities such as fine-motor exercises with threading, puzzles and scissor work to build hand strength and coordination, or sensory-based activities like play with textured materials and movement on therapy equipment to support body awareness and regulation. Visual schedules and structured routines are also commonly incorporated to help children understand expectations and transitions throughout their day. Early intervention can be funded through the NDIS (2025-26) for eligible children, and National 360 Ballarat can discuss funding options during your initial consultation. Starting therapy early means children have more time to develop foundational skills that support learning, independence and participation in everyday activities at home, childcare and school.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has developmental delay?
Developmental delay can show in different ways—some children may be slower to reach milestones like walking or talking, whilst others may struggle with coordination, play skills or managing daily routines. An occupational therapist can assess your child's current abilities and discuss any concerns with you. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or cerebral palsy; a paediatrician or specialist would do that. National 360 Ballarat can help clarify what support might be helpful.
Will my child need ongoing therapy, or is early intervention short-term?
This varies for each child. Early intervention aims to give children the best start by building skills during important developmental windows. Some children progress quickly and may need less frequent support over time, whilst others benefit from longer-term involvement. National 360 Ballarat will work with you to set goals and review progress regularly, adjusting the therapy plan as your child develops.
Can early intervention be funded through the NDIS?
Yes, early intervention services can be funded through the NDIS (2025-26) for eligible children under seven years old. Eligibility depends on your child's circumstances. National 360 Ballarat can discuss your funding options and help you understand what support may be available during your initial appointment.
