Services Plumtree Children's Services offers for fine motor delay
Plumtree Children's Services provides early intervention support specifically designed to address fine motor skills delay in children across NSW. Early intervention focuses on identifying and supporting developmental concerns during the critical early years when children's brains are most responsive to learning. At Plumtree Children's Services, occupational therapists work with children to strengthen the small muscles in their hands and fingers through purposeful, play-based activities tailored to each child's interests and developmental level. Examples of interventions include threading activities and bead work to develop pincer grip strength, scissor skills training using adaptive scissors, and hand-strengthening exercises using playdough or resistance tools. Therapists also address visual-motor coordination through activities like copying shapes, dot-to-dot work, and drawing games. For families with NDIS plans, Plumtree Children's Services is registered to provide early intervention supports, with funding available under the 2025-26 scheme to cover occupational therapy sessions. Early intervention can help prevent secondary difficulties and support children's participation in everyday activities like self-care, play, and school readiness. The clinic works collaboratively with families to embed strategies into daily routines at home.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor skills delay?
Signs may include difficulty holding pencils or cutlery, trouble with buttons or zips, messy handwriting, or reluctance to engage in drawing and writing activities. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills through observation and standardised assessments. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental coordination disorder—diagnosis requires a medical professional. Plumtree Children's Services can identify areas of concern and recommend support.
Can NDIS funding cover occupational therapy for fine motor delay?
Yes, if your child has an NDIS plan, early intervention supports including occupational therapy can be funded under the 2025-26 scheme. Plumtree Children's Services is NDIS registered, so you can use your plan funding for sessions. Eligibility and funding amounts depend on your child's plan. Contact the clinic or your NDIS planner to discuss how funding can support your child's needs.
What happens during a session at Plumtree Children's Services?
Sessions are play-based and tailored to your child's age and interests. The occupational therapist will assess your child's current skills, then guide them through activities targeting fine motor development—such as threading, drawing, or hand-strengthening games. You'll receive strategies to practise at home. Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes, and the therapist will discuss progress and next steps with you regularly.
