OT Kidz in Across SA lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services OT Kidz offers for developmental delay
OT Kidz supports children experiencing developmental delay by addressing the underlying skills that impact everyday functioning. Our occupational therapists work with children to build strength, coordination, and independence across self-care, play, and learning activities. For children with gross motor delays, we use equipment-based activities such as obstacle courses and balance work on therapy balls to develop core strength and body awareness. Fine motor skills are supported through targeted exercises like threading, scissor practice, and hand-strengthening games that prepare children for writing and self-feeding. We also incorporate sensory strategies—such as weighted vests during table-top activities or movement breaks—to help children regulate and engage better in their daily routines. OT Kidz takes an individualised approach, working closely with families to identify goals that matter most. Many families access our services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy support for eligible children. We recommend discussing funding options during your initial consultation to understand what may be available for your child's needs.

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 occupational therapy for developmental delay?
If your child is slower than peers in reaching milestones—such as sitting, walking, self-feeding, or managing buttons and zips—an occupational therapy assessment can help. OT Kidz can evaluate your child's current skills and discuss whether therapy would support their development. Your GP or early childhood educator can also provide referral guidance.
Can occupational therapy help if my child has autism or ADHD?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing differences, but we can support children with these conditions by addressing functional skills like self-care, coordination, and sensory regulation. OT Kidz works alongside medical diagnoses to help children participate more independently in daily activities.
How long does therapy typically take, and will my child 'catch up'?
Progress varies depending on your child's needs and consistency of practice. OT Kidz focuses on building skills and independence rather than guaranteeing catch-up to peers. We work with you to set realistic goals and monitor progress regularly, adjusting our approach as your child develops.
