Services Only About Kids offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor abilities. Fine motor skills—like grasping, manipulating objects, and hand-eye coordination—are foundational for writing, self-care, and play. At Only About Kids in Caroline Springs, our occupational therapists work with children to build these essential skills through targeted, play-based activities. We might use strategies such as threading beads or pegs to strengthen hand muscles and coordination, practising scissor skills with age-appropriate cutting tasks, or using hand-strengthening tools like therapy putty during sessions. We also incorporate everyday activities that naturally develop fine motor control, helping children gain confidence and independence. If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, our team can discuss how occupational therapy supports your goals. Only About Kids tailors each approach to your child's individual needs, working collaboratively with families to identify practical strategies you can use at home.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has developmental delay?
Developmental delay is identified when children are slower to reach typical milestones in areas like motor skills, communication, or self-care. Your GP, early childhood educator, or maternal and child health nurse can raise concerns. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose developmental delay but can assess your child's skills and discuss findings with you. If you're concerned, starting with your GP is a good first step.
Can Only About Kids help my child catch up with their peers?
Our occupational therapists work to support your child's skill development and independence in daily activities. We use evidence-informed strategies tailored to your child's abilities and goals. Progress varies for each child. We focus on building confidence and practical skills rather than making promises about catching up, and we work closely with families to set realistic, meaningful goals.
Do you accept NDIS funding?
We recommend contacting Only About Kids directly to confirm current NDIS registration status and funding arrangements for 2025-26. Our team can discuss payment options and help you understand how occupational therapy services may be funded through NDIS or private arrangements. We're happy to answer questions about fees and support available to families.
