Fine motor delay Support at The LEAP Centre — Across VIC
The LEAP Centre in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for fine motor delay.
Services The LEAP Centre offers for fine motor delay
The LEAP Centre provides early intervention support to help children develop the fine motor skills they need for everyday activities like writing, drawing, fastening buttons, and using cutlery. Early intervention is most effective when started as soon as a delay is noticed, as young children's brains are highly responsive to targeted practice and play-based learning. At The LEAP Centre, occupational therapists work with children through carefully graded activities that build hand strength, coordination, and control. Examples include threading beads or pegs to develop pincer grip, using adaptive scissors and pencil grips to improve cutting and writing posture, and engaging in hand-strengthening games like playdough manipulation or squeezing activities. The LEAP Centre also teaches parents and carers strategies to embed fine motor practice into daily routines at home, making progress sustainable. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025-26 scheme, early intervention services may be covered as part of your plan, though registration status should be confirmed directly with the clinic. Early support can help prevent secondary difficulties and build your child's confidence in self-care and learning tasks.

About fine motor delay
Fine motor skills are the small, precise movements children use with their hands and fingers for play, self-care, and school. A fine motor skills delay describes when a child is taking longer than expected to develop these skills.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor skills delay?
Signs include difficulty holding pencils or cutlery, struggling with buttons or zips, messy handwriting, reluctance to draw or write, or clumsiness with small objects compared to peers. An occupational therapist at The LEAP Centre can assess your child's skills and discuss whether intervention would help. Note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental coordination disorder—that requires a medical professional—but they can identify functional difficulties and support development.
What age can children start at The LEAP Centre?
Early intervention is typically most effective from age 2 onwards, though this varies by individual. The LEAP Centre can discuss your child's age and needs during an initial consultation. Early identification and support help children develop skills during critical developmental windows, making practice more efficient and building confidence early.
Will NDIS funding cover my child's therapy at The LEAP Centre?
NDIS funding may cover early intervention services if your child is eligible under the 2025-26 scheme, but this depends on your plan and the clinic's registration status. Contact The LEAP Centre directly to confirm their NDIS registration and discuss how funding might apply to your situation. They can also advise on private payment options if needed.
