Services Peninsula Kids OT offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across many areas, including fine motor coordination. Peninsula Kids OT supports children experiencing developmental delay through targeted fine motor intervention, helping build the hand strength, dexterity and coordination needed for everyday tasks. Our occupational therapists work with children on activities tailored to their current level and goals—such as threading beads to develop pincer grip, using adaptive scissors and writing tools to build hand control, and engaging in play-based activities that naturally strengthen finger and hand muscles. We also incorporate sensory strategies that support motor learning, recognising that how children process sensory information can influence their ability to plan and execute fine motor movements. Peninsula Kids OT is registered with the NDIS, meaning many families can access our services through NDIS plans (2025-26 funding arrangements). Our therapists collaborate with families and other professionals to ensure interventions are practical and integrated into daily routines at home and school, supporting children's participation in self-care, play and learning activities.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has developmental delay?
Developmental delay is identified when children are not meeting typical milestones in areas like fine motor skills, gross motor skills, communication or self-care. Your GP, early childhood educator or paediatrician can refer you for assessment. Peninsula Kids OT can assess your child's fine motor skills and discuss any concerns, though diagnosis of conditions like autism or ADHD sits with medical professionals.
Can Peninsula Kids OT help my child if they have an NDIS plan?
Yes. Peninsula Kids OT is NDIS registered, and many families use their NDIS funding to access our occupational therapy services. We can discuss how our services align with your child's plan goals and support you with the funding process. Contact us to confirm your plan covers the support you need.
What should I expect during fine motor therapy sessions?
Sessions are play-based and tailored to your child's interests and abilities. Your occupational therapist might use activities like threading, drawing, cutting, or manipulating objects to build hand strength and control. We'll also provide strategies and activities you can practise at home to support progress between sessions.
