Talk Health Therapy in Across QLD lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Talk Health Therapy offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor abilities. Talk Health Therapy supports children experiencing developmental delay through targeted fine motor intervention, helping build the hand strength, coordination, and control needed for everyday tasks like writing, fastening buttons, and self-feeding. Our occupational therapists work with children using practical, play-based activities tailored to their developmental level. Examples include threading beads and manipulating small objects to strengthen finger muscles, using adaptive utensils and grips during mealtimes to develop eating skills, and structured pencil control exercises that progress gradually toward writing readiness. Talk Health Therapy is NDIS registered, meaning families can access funding through the 2025-26 scheme to support these services. Our therapists collaborate with families and other professionals to identify specific fine motor goals and create achievable stepping stones. Rather than focusing on catching up to peers, we emphasise building confidence and independence in the skills that matter most for each child's daily life and participation at home, school, and in the community.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has developmental delay?
Developmental delay is typically identified when children are slower to reach milestones in areas like motor skills, communication, or self-care compared to peers. Your GP, early childhood educator, or health visitor may raise concerns. An occupational therapist can assess your child's fine motor skills and functional abilities, though diagnosis of underlying conditions like autism or ADHD requires a medical professional. Talk Health Therapy can help clarify whether fine motor support would benefit your child.
Can NDIS funding cover occupational therapy for developmental delay?
Yes. If your child has an NDIS plan, occupational therapy services can be funded under supports for daily living or improved daily living skills. Talk Health Therapy is NDIS registered, so families can use their plan funding for our services. The 2025-26 funding year allows flexibility in how therapy supports are accessed. Discuss your child's goals with your NDIS planner to include occupational therapy in your plan.
What should I expect in a first appointment at Talk Health Therapy?
Your first session involves getting to know your child and understanding your concerns and goals. The occupational therapist will observe how your child plays and attempts everyday tasks, assessing fine motor skills in a relaxed, natural way. We'll discuss your child's strengths, areas for support, and create a plan together. You'll receive practical strategies to use at home, and we'll explain how regular therapy sessions can help your child progress.
