Early intervention Support at Rehabilitation Specialists — Across ACT
Rehabilitation Specialists in Across ACT lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for early intervention.
Services Rehabilitation Specialists offers for early intervention
Early childhood development relies on strong foundations in movement, coordination and sensory awareness. Rehabilitation Specialists supports children in their early years by addressing fine motor skills—such as hand strength, pencil grip and finger dexterity—through play-based activities tailored to each child's developmental stage. Examples include threading beads, scissor practice, and finger painting exercises that build the small muscles needed for writing and self-care tasks. Sensory processing support helps children understand and respond appropriately to touch, movement and environmental stimuli. At Rehabilitation Specialists, this might involve sensory swing work to develop balance and body awareness, textured play activities to explore different tactile experiences, or weighted equipment to help children feel more grounded and organised. Early intervention during these formative years can support children's confidence, independence and readiness for school. While funding arrangements vary, families may be eligible for NDIS support (2025–26 pricing structures apply where registered). An initial assessment with Rehabilitation Specialists can identify your child's specific needs and guide appropriate next steps.

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 occupational therapy for early development?
Signs include difficulty with fine motor tasks (holding utensils, turning pages), avoiding certain textures or movements, clumsiness, or delayed self-care skills like dressing. Rehabilitation Specialists can conduct an assessment to understand your child's development and discuss whether therapy would be helpful. An OT cannot diagnose conditions like autism or sensory processing disorder, but can identify areas where support may benefit your child.
What should I expect during a session at Rehabilitation Specialists?
Sessions are play-based and tailored to your child's age and interests. Your child might engage in activities like building with blocks, sensory exploration, or movement games. The occupational therapist will observe how your child moves, interacts and processes sensory information, then guide you on strategies to support development at home. Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes.
Can NDIS funding help pay for therapy at Rehabilitation Specialists?
NDIS funding may be available if your child has an approved plan. Funding eligibility and amounts depend on individual circumstances and 2025–26 pricing structures. We recommend contacting Rehabilitation Specialists directly to discuss your situation and confirm current registration status, as this affects how services can be funded.
