Fine motor delay Support at Physio Inq — Across WA
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 are essential for everyday activities like holding a pencil, fastening buttons, and manipulating small objects. At Physio Inq, our occupational therapists work with children experiencing fine motor delays through targeted handwriting support and skill-building activities. During handwriting sessions, therapists assess grip strength, hand positioning, and pencil control, then design individualised programs to address specific difficulties. Examples of interventions include finger strengthening exercises using therapy putty or tweezers to pick up small beads, pencil grip training with adaptive pencil grips or triangular holders, and fine motor games such as threading beads or completing puzzles. Physio Inq also incorporates sensory preparation activities—like hand massage or resistance exercises—to improve body awareness and readiness for writing tasks. These sessions build confidence and independence in written communication. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025–26 financial year, occupational therapy services may be covered under your plan. We recommend discussing funding options during your initial consultation to understand how support can be accessed.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor delay?
Signs include difficulty holding pencils or cutlery, avoiding writing or drawing activities, poor handwriting compared to peers, or struggling with buttons and zips. An occupational therapist at Physio Inq can assess your child's skills and identify specific areas needing support. Note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD, but can identify functional difficulties and recommend strategies.
What should I expect during a handwriting session at Physio Inq?
Sessions typically begin with warm-up activities to prepare the hand and fingers, followed by targeted exercises addressing your child's specific needs—such as grip training or pencil control work. The therapist will provide strategies you can practise at home and may suggest adaptive equipment. Sessions are play-based and tailored to keep your child engaged and motivated.
Can NDIS funding cover occupational therapy at Physio Inq?
NDIS funding may cover occupational therapy services if your child is eligible and has therapy supports included in their plan for 2025–26. We recommend contacting Physio Inq directly to discuss your child's situation and confirm funding arrangements, as eligibility and plan details vary for each participant.
