Services Occupational Therapy Helping Children offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor coordination. Fine motor skills—such as grasping, hand strength, and finger dexterity—are essential for writing, self-care tasks, and play. Occupational Therapy Helping Children supports children experiencing developmental delay by targeting these foundational abilities through tailored interventions. Our therapists use play-based activities to build hand strength and control, such as threading beads, using tweezers to pick up small objects, or manipulating playdough to develop finger muscles. We also incorporate functional tasks like practising buttons, zips, and cutlery use to help children gain independence in everyday routines. For children with reduced hand coordination, we might introduce adaptive equipment or modified gripping tools to make activities more achievable. Occupational Therapy Helping Children recognises that fine motor development is interconnected with overall development, so we work collaboratively with families to embed these skills into daily routines at home. Many families access our services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), which can help make therapy more accessible. We encourage parents to discuss their child's specific needs during an initial consultation to determine how our approach can support their developmental journey.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has developmental delay, and can occupational therapy help?
Developmental delay occurs when children reach milestones later than expected. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose delay—your GP or paediatrician can do this—but we can assess how delay affects daily functioning and provide targeted support. Occupational Therapy Helping Children works with children at various developmental stages to build skills in fine motor control, self-care, and play, regardless of the underlying cause.
What should I expect during the first appointment at Occupational Therapy Helping Children?
Your first appointment includes discussion about your child's developmental history, current abilities, and your concerns. We observe your child during play and everyday tasks to understand their strengths and areas needing support. We'll explain our findings and work with you to develop goals and a therapy plan tailored to your family's priorities and routines.
Can NDIS funding cover therapy at your clinic?
NDIS funding may be available to support occupational therapy services under 2025-26 pricing arrangements, depending on your child's plan and eligibility. We recommend contacting Occupational Therapy Helping Children directly to discuss your specific situation and confirm funding options, as registration status and individual circumstances vary.
