Services South West Sydney Therapy offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor abilities. South West Sydney Therapy provides occupational therapy support to help children strengthen the small muscles in their hands and fingers, which are essential for everyday tasks like writing, drawing, eating, and fastening buttons. Through fine motor intervention, our therapists work with children using graded activities tailored to their developmental level. Examples include threading beads or pasta onto string to build hand strength and coordination, using adaptive pencil grips and pre-writing exercises to develop pencil control, and engaging in play-based activities like playdough manipulation or scissor skills practice. These interventions are designed to be enjoyable and meaningful, often incorporated into games and activities children naturally enjoy. South West Sydney Therapy can discuss how NDIS funding (2025-26) may support your child's therapy sessions if you're an NDIS participant, helping to reduce out-of-pocket costs. Our therapists work collaboratively with families and other professionals to ensure consistent progress across home and community settings.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a developmental delay affecting fine motor skills?
Signs may include difficulty holding pencils, struggling with buttons or zips, poor hand strength, or avoiding fine motor activities. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills and compare them to developmental milestones. However, OTs cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental disorders—a paediatrician or specialist would do that. South West Sydney Therapy can provide an assessment to identify specific areas needing support.
Will occupational therapy help my child catch up to their peers?
Occupational therapy supports skill development and helps children progress at their own pace. While we can't guarantee specific outcomes, therapy aims to improve independence and confidence in daily activities. Progress depends on factors including your child's starting point, consistency of practice, and family involvement. South West Sydney Therapy works with you to set realistic, meaningful goals for your child.
Can NDIS funding help cover therapy costs at South West Sydney Therapy?
If your child is an NDIS participant, funding may be available for occupational therapy services under the 2025-26 scheme. We recommend checking your NDIS plan to see if therapy is included. Contact South West Sydney Therapy directly to discuss your funding arrangements and how we can support your child's goals within your plan.
