Developmental delay Support at Squish Kids – Capalaba — Capalaba, QLD
Squish Kids – Capalaba in Capalaba, QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Squish Kids – Capalaba offers for developmental delay
Children with developmental delay often experience challenges with fine motor skills—the small, precise movements needed for everyday tasks like holding a pencil, fastening buttons, or using cutlery. At Squish Kids – Capalaba, our occupational therapists work with children to build these essential skills through targeted, play-based interventions. We use activities such as threading beads and manipulating playdough to strengthen hand muscles and coordination, scissor skills practice to develop grip control, and hand-eye coordination games that make learning engaging. Our therapists also incorporate sensory strategies—like textured materials and weighted tools—to help children develop body awareness and motor planning. Each child's program is individualised based on their specific needs and goals. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, Squish Kids – Capalaba is registered to support you in accessing these services. We work collaboratively with families and other professionals to ensure consistent progress across home, school, and clinic settings.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a developmental delay?
Developmental delays can show in different ways—some children may struggle with fine motor tasks like holding a pencil, whilst others might have difficulty with coordination or strength. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills and discuss your concerns, though we cannot diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD. Your GP or paediatrician can also help identify whether an assessment is appropriate.
Can Squish Kids – Capalaba help if my child is on the NDIS?
Yes, we're registered NDIS providers. If your child has an approved NDIS plan that includes occupational therapy, we can support you in accessing those services. We recommend discussing your child's goals with your NDIS planner to ensure therapy aligns with your plan. Contact us to discuss how we can help.
What should I expect during the first appointment?
Your first session involves getting to know your child and understanding your concerns and goals. Our therapist will observe your child's fine motor skills and discuss their development history. We'll explain what we've noticed and work with you to create a tailored therapy plan that makes sense for your family and your child's needs.
