Developmental delay Support at Rehabilitation Specialists — Banks, ACT

Rehabilitation Specialists lists fine motor support as a service offered to children with developmental delay. Fine motor skills—the ability to control small hand and finger movements—are foundational for everyday tasks such as writing, fastening buttons, using cutlery, and manipulating toys. When children experience developmental delay, fine motor difficulties may affect their independence and participation in school and home activities.

According to its listing, Rehabilitation Specialists may address fine motor challenges through targeted activities and interventions. Examples of approaches typically used in occupational therapy for this area include hand strengthening exercises using therapy putty or resistance tools, pencil grip training and mark-making activities to prepare for writing, and play-based tasks such as threading beads, completing puzzles, or using tweezers to pick up small objects. These activities help build the precision, strength, and coordination needed for functional tasks.

Children with developmental delay accessing support through NDIS funding in 2025-26 may be able to direct therapy funding toward occupational therapy services. Parents considering Rehabilitation Specialists should confirm the clinic's current NDIS registration status, as this has not been confirmed in the directory snapshot. It is important to discuss with the clinic how fine motor goals align with the child's broader developmental needs and how progress will be monitored over time.
