Services Peninsula Kids OT offers for developmental delay
Peninsula Kids OT lists fine motor skills as a service area relevant to supporting children with developmental delay. Fine motor development—the ability to control small hand and finger movements—underpins everyday activities like holding a pencil, fastening buttons, using cutlery, and manipulating small objects. When children experience developmental delay, fine motor skills may develop more slowly than expected, affecting their independence and participation in school and home routines.
According to its listing, Peninsula Kids OT may address fine motor difficulties through targeted activities and interventions. Examples of approaches typically used in paediatric occupational therapy include hand strengthening exercises using therapy putty or resistance tools, pencil grip training and mark-making activities to develop writing readiness, and manipulation tasks such as threading beads, opening containers, or using tweezers to pick up small items. These activities are designed to build the strength, coordination, and control needed for functional tasks.
For families accessing NDIS funding in 2025-26, occupational therapy services may be eligible for support under participant plans, depending on individual goals and circumstances. Parents considering Peninsula Kids OT for fine motor support should discuss how the clinic's approach aligns with their child's specific needs and any existing therapy goals.

Common questions
How does fine motor therapy help a child with developmental delay?
Fine motor therapy targets the small muscles and coordination needed for tasks like writing, self-care, and play. By practising structured activities that build hand strength and control, children can develop the skills needed for school readiness and daily independence. Peninsula Kids OT lists fine motor support as part of its service offerings for children with developmental delay.
Is Peninsula Kids OT registered with the NDIS?
Peninsula Kids OT is listed as NDIS registered in the directory snapshot according to self-reported information. However, this has not been independently verified by OTWaitlist. Parents should confirm current NDIS registration status directly with the clinic before planning therapy, as registration details can change.
What should I expect during a fine motor assessment?
An occupational therapist typically observes how a child performs everyday tasks and structured activities to identify fine motor strengths and areas needing support. The therapist may assess grip, hand strength, coordination, and ability to manipulate objects. Peninsula Kids OT would use findings to discuss goals and potential therapy approaches tailored to the child's needs.
