Services NSPOT offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children learn to coordinate their movements and develop everyday skills. NSPOT supports children experiencing developmental delay through targeted fine motor therapy, which focuses on strengthening the small muscles in hands and fingers needed for writing, drawing, fastening buttons, and self-care tasks. During sessions at NSPOT, children might engage in activities such as threading beads of varying sizes to build hand strength and precision, using adaptive scissors and grips to develop cutting skills, or completing puzzles and pegboard activities that encourage finger dexterity. Our occupational therapists also incorporate play-based interventions like playdough manipulation and finger painting to make skill-building enjoyable and motivating. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025-26 scheme, NSPOT can work with you to understand how occupational therapy supports your child's goals. While we cannot diagnose developmental conditions, our therapists collaborate with other professionals to support your child's overall development and help them participate more confidently in daily activities at home and school.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs fine motor support?
Signs include difficulty holding pencils or utensils, struggling with buttons or zips, messy handwriting, or reluctance to engage in drawing and writing activities. An initial consultation with NSPOT can help identify your child's specific needs and whether occupational therapy would be beneficial. Your GP or early childhood educator can also provide observations to guide referral.
Can occupational therapy diagnose developmental delay or autism?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder. However, NSPOT's therapists can assess how developmental delay affects your child's daily functioning and work alongside other professionals such as paediatricians or speech pathologists who may be involved in diagnosis.
Does NSPOT accept NDIS funding?
We recommend contacting NSPOT directly to confirm current NDIS registration status and funding arrangements for 2025-26. If your child has an NDIS plan, our team can discuss how occupational therapy services may be funded and help coordinate your care.
