Developmental delay Support at Play Partners — Across VIC
Play Partners in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Play Partners offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor abilities. Play Partners supports children experiencing developmental delay through targeted fine motor intervention, which helps build the strength, coordination and control needed for everyday tasks like writing, eating and dressing. During sessions at Play Partners, children might engage in activities such as threading beads or manipulating playdough to develop hand strength and finger dexterity, practising scissor skills through craft projects, or using tweezers and droppers during sensory play to refine pincer grip. These interventions are designed to be playful and engaging, meeting each child where they are developmentally. If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding in 2025–26, Play Partners can work with you to support your goals, though registration status should be confirmed directly with the clinic. An occupational therapist at Play Partners cannot diagnose conditions like developmental coordination disorder, but can identify areas where fine motor support would benefit your child and collaborate with other professionals involved in their care.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs fine motor support?
Children with developmental delay may struggle with tasks like holding a pencil, fastening buttons, using cutlery, or manipulating small objects. If you've noticed your child is slower than peers in these areas or avoids fine motor activities, an occupational therapist can assess their skills and discuss whether intervention would help. Play Partners can discuss your observations during an initial consultation.
Can occupational therapy diagnose why my child has developmental delay?
Occupational therapists assess functional abilities but cannot diagnose conditions like autism, ADHD or developmental coordination disorder. However, an OT can identify specific areas where your child needs support and work collaboratively with other professionals—such as paediatricians or psychologists—who may be involved in diagnosis and overall care planning.
Does Play Partners accept NDIS funding?
NDIS registration status should be confirmed directly with Play Partners, as this information is not currently confirmed. If your child is NDIS-eligible, the clinic can discuss how services may be funded under 2025–26 arrangements and what documentation you might need to bring to your first appointment.
