Services Peninsula Kids OT offers for early intervention
Early childhood development relies on strong foundations in fine motor and sensory processing skills. Peninsula Kids OT supports children aged 0–5 by addressing these key areas, which underpin everything from self-care to play and learning. Fine motor work helps children develop the hand strength and coordination needed for tasks like grasping toys, self-feeding, and eventually writing. Peninsula Kids OT uses graded activities such as threading beads, playdough manipulation, and finger painting to build these skills progressively. Sensory processing support helps children interpret and respond appropriately to sensory input—touch, movement, sound, and sight—which is essential for engagement and learning. Interventions might include sensory swing work to develop vestibular awareness, textured play exploration, or weighted equipment to support body awareness. Many families access Peninsula Kids OT services through NDIS funding (2025–26 arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy support for eligible children. An occupational therapist cannot diagnose conditions such as autism or sensory processing disorder; however, they can identify developmental gaps and work collaboratively with families and other professionals to support your child's growth across these foundational areas.

About early intervention
Early childhood is a time of rapid development across play, movement, communication, self-care, and social skills. When concerns about a child's early development arise, paediatric occupational therapy is one of the allied health supports often involved.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs occupational therapy for early development?
Signs include difficulty with self-feeding, delayed hand skills, avoiding certain textures or movements, or seeming uncoordinated compared to peers. Peninsula Kids OT offers initial consultations to discuss your child's development. An occupational therapist can identify areas of strength and concern, though they cannot diagnose conditions. Your GP or early childhood educator can also provide referrals if you have concerns.
Can Peninsula Kids OT help if my child has been diagnosed with autism or ADHD?
Yes. Occupational therapists support children with various diagnoses by addressing functional skills like fine motor control and sensory processing. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder. They work alongside other professionals to help your child develop skills that support daily activities and participation.
How does NDIS funding work with Peninsula Kids OT?
Peninsula Kids OT is NDIS-registered, meaning eligible children can use their NDIS plan to fund occupational therapy sessions. Funding arrangements vary by plan. Contact Peninsula Kids OT directly to discuss your child's NDIS eligibility and how sessions can be structured within your plan for 2025–26.
