Services OT with Tahls offers for fine motor delay
Fine motor skills are essential for everyday activities like writing, buttoning clothes, using cutlery, and playing with toys. OT with Tahls offers targeted fine motor support to help children develop the strength, coordination, and control needed for these tasks. During sessions, occupational therapists work with children through purposeful, play-based activities tailored to their developmental level. Examples include threading beads or pasta onto string to build finger dexterity, using adaptive scissors and pencil grips to improve hand positioning, and engaging in hand-strengthening activities such as playdough manipulation or squeezing activities. The therapists at OT with Tahls also address underlying factors that may affect fine motor development, such as posture, hand-eye coordination, and bilateral coordination (using both hands together). If your child is eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025–26 financial year, fine motor therapy may be covered under your plan's capacity-building supports. Whether funded through NDIS or privately, OT with Tahls works collaboratively with families and schools to ensure strategies are practised consistently across different environments, supporting your child's progress toward greater independence and confidence.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor delay?
Signs include difficulty holding a pencil, struggling with buttons or zips, poor handwriting for their age, or avoiding fine motor activities. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills and compare them to developmental milestones. However, an OT cannot diagnose conditions like dyspraxia or developmental coordination disorder—this requires a medical professional. OT with Tahls can help identify areas of concern and recommend next steps.
Will OT with Tahls help my child catch up to their peers?
Occupational therapy supports children in developing fine motor skills through structured, individualised practice. Progress varies depending on your child's starting point, consistency of practice, and engagement. OT with Tahls works with you to set realistic goals and monitor development over time. Regular therapy combined with home practice typically leads to meaningful improvements in function and confidence.
Can I use NDIS funding for fine motor therapy at OT with Tahls?
Fine motor support may be eligible under NDIS funding if it's included in your child's plan as a capacity-building support. Funding availability depends on your child's plan and goals. Contact OT with Tahls directly to discuss your specific situation and how they can work with your NDIS plan for the 2025–26 financial year.
