Services OT with Tahls offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor abilities. Fine motor skills—such as grasping, pinching, and hand-eye coordination—are essential for everyday activities like eating, dressing, and writing. At OT with Tahls, occupational therapists work with children to build these foundational skills through purposeful, play-based activities tailored to each child's developmental level. Examples of interventions might include threading activities to strengthen finger strength and coordination, playdough manipulation to develop hand muscles, or scissor practice to improve bilateral coordination. The therapists also incorporate sensory exploration, as children with developmental delay often benefit from tactile input that supports motor planning and confidence. OT with Tahls can support families accessing NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements) to cover therapy sessions, helping make ongoing support more accessible. Whether your child is eligible for the NDIS or you're exploring private therapy options, the clinic works collaboratively with families to identify realistic goals and celebrate progress at each stage of development.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs occupational therapy for developmental delay?
If you've noticed your child is slower to reach milestones—such as grasping objects, self-feeding, or managing buttons and zips—an occupational therapist can assess their current skills and identify areas where support may help. OT with Tahls can discuss your concerns and determine whether therapy would be beneficial. An OT cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental disorders; however, they can identify functional difficulties and work towards improving everyday skills.
Can OT with Tahls help my child access NDIS funding?
OT with Tahls can work with families to understand how therapy supports your child's goals and functional needs. While NDIS registration status should be confirmed directly with the clinic, occupational therapy is a commonly funded support under NDIS plans (2025-26). The team can discuss funding options and help you understand what therapy might look like for your child.
What should I expect during my child's first session at OT with Tahls?
The initial session typically involves the therapist observing your child's play and daily activities, asking about your concerns and goals, and assessing their current fine motor and developmental skills. This helps create a personalised plan. Sessions are usually play-based and child-led, making them engaging and less intimidating for young children. The therapist will also discuss progress and strategies with you.
