Developmental delay Support at Skids and Giggles Toilet Training — Across NSW

Children with developmental delay often experience challenges with fine motor skills, which can affect everyday activities like self-care, play, and learning. At Skids and Giggles Toilet Training across NSW, our occupational therapists recognise that fine motor development is foundational to independence and confidence. We use targeted interventions tailored to each child's needs and abilities. For example, we might incorporate hand-strengthening activities using therapy putty or tweezers to pick up small objects, helping build the precise finger control needed for writing, fastening buttons, and managing toileting tasks. We also use adaptive equipment and graded practice with everyday activities—such as pouring, threading, or manipulating zips—to develop coordination in a meaningful context. Skids and Giggles Toilet Training works with families to understand how fine motor difficulties impact daily routines, and we collaborate on strategies that support progress at home and in the community. If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding (2025-26), our team can discuss how occupational therapy services may be covered. We encourage families to contact us for an initial conversation about how we can support your child's development.
