Developmental delay Support at The Kids Place — Across ACT
The Kids Place in Across ACT lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services The Kids Place offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across multiple areas, including fine motor control, coordination, and everyday activities. The Kids Place supports children experiencing developmental delay through targeted occupational therapy that addresses these underlying difficulties. Our fine motor services help children develop the hand strength and coordination needed for writing, drawing, and self-care tasks through graded activities such as threading beads, scissor skills practice, and pencil grip training. For broader developmental concerns, The Kids Place uses play-based interventions and environmental modifications to encourage skill development at a pace suited to each child. For example, we might use adaptive utensils during mealtimes, incorporate hand-strengthening games into therapy sessions, or create visual supports to help children understand daily routines. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025–26 arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy support for eligible children. Our therapists work collaboratively with families and other professionals to identify specific areas of need and develop strategies that support progress both in the clinic and at home.

About developmental delay
Developmental delay describes when a child has not yet reached one or more developmental milestones in the expected timeframe. It is a description, not a single diagnosis.

Common questions
How does occupational therapy help a child with developmental delay?
Occupational therapists help children develop skills needed for daily activities and learning. The Kids Place focuses on areas like fine motor control, coordination, and self-care routines. Through play-based activities and tailored strategies, we support children to build confidence and independence at a pace that suits their development.
Can occupational therapy diagnose autism, ADHD, or other conditions?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism, ADHD, or sensory processing difficulties. However, we can identify functional difficulties in areas like fine motor skills and daily activities, and we work alongside other professionals such as paediatricians or psychologists who may provide diagnosis.
Does The Kids Place accept NDIS funding?
We work with families to support their therapy goals. Regarding NDIS registration and funding arrangements for 2025–26, we recommend contacting The Kids Place directly to discuss your specific situation and what payment options may be available for your child's care.
