Developmental delay Support at Paediatric Potentials OT — Across QLD
Paediatric Potentials OT in Across QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Paediatric Potentials OT offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor control. Fine motor skills—such as grasping, pinching, and hand-eye coordination—are essential for everyday activities like eating, dressing, and writing. At Paediatric Potentials OT, our occupational therapists work with children to build these foundational abilities through targeted, play-based interventions. We use strategies such as threading activities and bead work to strengthen hand muscles and improve dexterity, scissor skills training to develop bilateral coordination, and adaptive utensil practice to support independence during mealtimes. Each child's programme is individualised based on their current abilities and goals. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding (2025-26), Paediatric Potentials OT is registered to support you in accessing these services. Our therapists collaborate with families and other professionals to ensure consistent progress across home, school, and clinic settings, helping children develop the confidence and capability they need to participate fully in daily activities.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a developmental delay?
Developmental delay is typically identified when a child's skills fall noticeably behind age-related expectations across areas like movement, communication, or self-care. Your GP, early childhood educator, or paediatrician can discuss concerns with you. An occupational therapist can assess specific skill areas, though we cannot diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD. If you're unsure, speaking with your healthcare provider is a good first step.
Can NDIS funding help pay for occupational therapy at Paediatric Potentials OT?
Yes. Paediatric Potentials OT is NDIS-registered, meaning if your child has an approved NDIS plan that includes therapy supports, you can use those funds for our services. We recommend discussing your child's needs with your NDIS planner to ensure occupational therapy is included in your plan for the 2025-26 financial year.
What should I expect during the first appointment?
Your first session typically involves discussion about your child's developmental history, current abilities, and your goals. The therapist will observe your child during play and structured activities to understand their fine motor skills and needs. You'll receive feedback and recommendations, and together we'll develop a plan tailored to your child's strengths and areas for growth.
