Physio Inq in Across WA lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for fine motor delay.
Services Physio Inq offers for fine motor delay
Fine motor skills—like pencil grip, hand strength, and finger coordination—are essential for writing, drawing, and everyday tasks. At Physio Inq, our occupational therapists work with children to build these foundational abilities through targeted handwriting support. During handwriting sessions, we use a range of practical strategies tailored to each child's needs. For example, we might incorporate hand-strengthening activities such as playdough manipulation or threading beads to develop the small muscles required for pencil control. We also address grip patterns and posture, using adaptive pencil grips or sloped writing surfaces to support proper hand positioning. Visual and tactile cues—like textured paper or pre-writing patterns—help children understand letter formation and build confidence. Physio Inq recognises that fine motor development varies widely, and our therapists work collaboratively with families to set realistic goals. If your child is accessing NDIS funding (2025–26), handwriting services may be eligible for support depending on your plan. We recommend discussing your child's specific needs with our team to explore how we can help.

About fine motor delay
Fine motor skills are the small, precise movements children use with their hands and fingers for play, self-care, and school. A fine motor skills delay describes when a child is taking longer than expected to develop these skills.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor delay?
Signs include difficulty holding a pencil, poor letter formation, messy handwriting, fatigue during writing tasks, or reluctance to draw or write. Your child's teacher or GP may also raise concerns. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills and identify specific areas needing support. Note that an OT cannot diagnose conditions like dyspraxia or autism, but can identify functional difficulties and recommend strategies.
What should I expect during a handwriting session at Physio Inq?
Sessions are play-based and practical. Your occupational therapist will observe your child's grip, posture, and writing patterns, then use activities to build strength and coordination. This might include hand exercises, letter-writing practice, or adaptive tools. Sessions are individualised, and your therapist will discuss progress and home activities with you to support learning between appointments.
Can NDIS funding cover handwriting therapy?
Potentially, yes. Handwriting support may be eligible under NDIS funding (2025–26) if it's linked to your child's goals and plan. Eligibility depends on your individual plan and circumstances. Contact Physio Inq to discuss your funding options and how we can support your child's handwriting development.
