Developmental delay Support at The LEAP Centre — Across VIC
The LEAP Centre in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services The LEAP Centre offers for developmental delay
The LEAP Centre provides early intervention occupational therapy services designed to support children experiencing developmental delay across motor skills, self-care abilities, and play participation. Early intervention is most effective when started as soon as developmental concerns are identified, helping children build foundational skills during critical developmental periods. At The LEAP Centre, interventions are tailored to each child's needs and may include activities such as fine-motor exercises using threading, puzzles, and scissor work to develop hand strength and coordination; gross-motor activities like obstacle courses and balance work on therapy equipment to improve body awareness and movement control; and structured play-based learning that encourages social interaction and problem-solving. The clinic works with families to embed strategies into everyday routines at home, recognising that consistent practice supports better outcomes. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding, The LEAP Centre can discuss how therapy sessions may be covered under your plan. Early intervention through occupational therapy can help children develop confidence and independence in daily activities, though individual progress varies. Families are encouraged to discuss their child's specific needs with the team at The LEAP Centre to determine the most appropriate support.

Common questions
How do I know if my child needs early intervention support?
Signs may include delays in reaching motor milestones (sitting, walking), difficulty with self-care tasks (feeding, dressing), limited play skills, or challenges with coordination and balance. If you've noticed your child developing differently from peers, discussing your concerns with your GP or The LEAP Centre team is a good first step. They can help determine whether an occupational therapy assessment would be beneficial.
Can occupational therapy diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing difficulties. However, they can assess how developmental delays affect your child's everyday functioning and provide targeted support. If diagnostic assessment is needed, your GP can refer you to appropriate specialists whilst The LEAP Centre works on functional skill development.
Does The LEAP Centre accept NDIS funding?
NDIS registration status should be confirmed directly with The LEAP Centre, as this can affect how sessions are funded. If your child has an NDIS plan, discuss funding options with the clinic. For 2025-26, NDIS pricing arrangements may apply to registered providers. Contact The LEAP Centre to clarify current registration and payment options.
