POTS Newcastle in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for early intervention.
Services POTS Newcastle offers for early intervention
Early childhood development relies heavily on fine motor skills—the ability to control small hand and finger movements needed for everyday activities like eating, dressing, and play. POTS Newcastle supports children in building these foundational skills through targeted occupational therapy. Fine motor interventions at POTS Newcastle include activities such as threading beads or pegs to strengthen finger dexterity, playdough manipulation to develop hand strength and coordination, and pre-writing exercises using adaptive pencil grips to prepare children for school readiness. These activities are designed to be engaging and play-based, making skill development feel natural rather than clinical. For families accessing NDIS funding in the 2025-26 scheme year, occupational therapy services may be eligible for support depending on your child's plan. POTS Newcastle works with families to understand their goals and can discuss how services align with NDIS objectives. Whether your child is progressing typically or experiencing delays, fine motor development is essential for independence and confidence during these crucial early years.

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 fine motor support?
Children develop fine motor skills at different rates. Signs that support may help include difficulty holding utensils, struggling with buttons or zips, poor pencil grip, or reluctance to engage in hand-based activities. An occupational therapist at POTS Newcastle can assess your child's current abilities and discuss whether therapy would be beneficial for your family's goals.
Can occupational therapy diagnose developmental conditions like autism or ADHD?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing differences. However, POTS Newcastle can assess how your child functions in daily activities and identify areas where support may help. If you have concerns about diagnosis, your GP or paediatrician can refer you to appropriate specialists.
Does POTS Newcastle accept NDIS funding?
POTS Newcastle's NDIS registration status is not currently confirmed. We recommend contacting the clinic directly to discuss funding options available for your child's therapy. They can advise on payment arrangements and help you understand what may be covered under your NDIS plan for 2025-26.
