Developmental delay Support at OTS: AAAS — NSW

OTS: AAAS lists early intervention and fine motor support as services relevant to children with developmental delay. Early intervention typically involves working with younger children to address emerging difficulties before they become more entrenched, often including play-based activities, movement exercises, and strategies tailored to the child's developmental stage. Fine motor services focus on skills like pencil grip, hand strength, and coordination needed for writing, cutting, and self-care tasks such as fastening buttons or using utensils. According to its listing, OTS: AAAS may use activities such as threading beads or manipulating small objects to build hand strength and dexterity, scissor practice to develop cutting skills, and structured play with building blocks or puzzles to improve hand-eye coordination. Early intervention may also involve guiding parents on activities to practise at home. Parents accessing services through NDIS funding (2025-26) should note that NDIS registration for OTS: AAAS has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot, so it is advisable to verify funding eligibility directly with the clinic before commencing. Occupational therapists cannot diagnose developmental conditions such as autism or developmental coordination disorder; assessment and diagnosis typically occur through medical or psychology services.
