Early intervention Support at Squish Kids – Cleveland — Cleveland, QLD
Squish Kids – Cleveland in Cleveland, QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for early intervention.
Services Squish Kids – Cleveland offers for early intervention
Early childhood development relies on strong foundations in fine motor skills and sensory processing. At Squish Kids – Cleveland, our occupational therapists support children by addressing these key areas through tailored interventions. Fine motor development—such as grasping, hand strength, and coordination—underpins writing, self-care, and play. We use activities like threading beads, playdough manipulation, and scissor work to build these skills progressively. Sensory processing helps children interpret and respond appropriately to touch, movement, and environmental input; difficulties here can affect focus, behaviour, and participation. Squish Kids – Cleveland incorporates sensory strategies such as weighted lap pads during activities, movement breaks on a sensory swing, and tactile exploration stations to help children regulate and engage. Both services are eligible for NDIS funding under early intervention supports (2025–26), making them accessible to eligible families. Our therapists work collaboratively with families and educators to embed strategies into everyday routines, supporting children's confidence and independence during these critical developmental years.

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?
If you've noticed delays in fine motor skills (like holding a pencil or using cutlery), difficulty with sensory experiences (covering ears, avoiding textures), or challenges with self-care tasks, an initial consultation with Squish Kids – Cleveland can help. An occupational therapist will assess your child's strengths and needs. Note that OTs cannot diagnose conditions like autism or sensory processing disorder, but we can identify developmental areas to support.
Is occupational therapy covered by the NDIS?
Yes, occupational therapy is an eligible support under the NDIS early intervention scheme for children under six. Squish Kids – Cleveland is NDIS registered. If your child has an approved plan, therapy sessions can be funded. We recommend checking your plan details or contacting the NDIS to confirm your child's eligibility and available funding.
What can I do at home to support my child's development between sessions?
Your occupational therapist at Squish Kids – Cleveland will provide home strategies tailored to your child's needs—such as sensory activities, fine motor games, or environmental adjustments. Consistency across home and clinic settings strengthens progress. Simple activities like cooking together, playing with textured materials, or outdoor play can reinforce skills in everyday routines.
