Nurtured Paediatrics in Across SA lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Nurtured Paediatrics offers for developmental delay
Nurtured Paediatrics provides early intervention occupational therapy services designed to support children experiencing developmental delay across multiple areas. Early intervention is most effective when started as soon as developmental concerns are identified, helping children build foundational skills in movement, coordination, self-care, and play. At Nurtured Paediatrics, therapists work with children through tailored activities that address their individual needs. Examples include fine-motor exercises such as threading, cutting, and hand-strengthening games to develop pencil grip and dexterity; sensory-based activities like obstacle courses and balance work to improve body awareness and coordination; and structured play routines that encourage social interaction and communication skills. Early intervention can be funded through the NDIS (2025-26 funding year) for eligible children, helping families access ongoing support. Nurtured Paediatrics works with families to understand each child's strengths and challenges, creating practical strategies that extend into home and school environments. Early identification and consistent therapy support can help children develop confidence and independence in everyday activities.

About developmental delay
Developmental delay describes when a child has not yet reached one or more developmental milestones in the expected timeframe. It is a description, not a single diagnosis.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs developmental support?
Signs may include delays in reaching milestones like sitting, walking, or speaking; difficulty with self-care tasks like feeding or dressing; poor coordination or balance; or challenges with play and social interaction. Your GP, early childhood educator, or health nurse can help identify concerns. Nurtured Paediatrics can conduct an occupational therapy assessment to understand your child's strengths and areas for development.
Can occupational therapy diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose these conditions—that requires assessment by a paediatrician or psychologist. However, occupational therapists can identify functional difficulties in daily activities and provide support to help children participate more effectively at home, school, and in the community, regardless of diagnosis.
Can the NDIS help pay for therapy at Nurtured Paediatrics?
Many children with developmental delay are eligible for NDIS support (2025-26 funding year). Nurtured Paediatrics can discuss NDIS eligibility and funding options with you. If your child is not NDIS-eligible, private therapy is also available. Contact the clinic to discuss what funding arrangements suit your family's situation.
