Developmental delay Support at The OT Place — Across WA
The OT Place in Across WA lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services The OT Place offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor abilities. The OT Place supports children experiencing developmental delay by targeting fine motor skills through tailored interventions designed to build strength, coordination, and confidence. Fine motor development is crucial for everyday tasks like writing, self-care, and play. At The OT Place, occupational therapists use evidence-based activities to help children progress. Examples include threading and bead work to develop pincer grip and hand strength, scissor skills training with adaptive equipment to build cutting ability, and hand-strengthening exercises using playdough, resistance tools, and manipulation games. These activities are embedded within play-based sessions that keep children engaged whilst developing the motor control needed for functional independence. If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding in 2025-26, The OT Place can discuss how occupational therapy services might be incorporated into your plan. Every child develops at their own pace, and The OT Place works collaboratively with families to set realistic goals and monitor progress over time.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has developmental delay?
Developmental delay is typically identified when a child's skills fall behind expected milestones for their age across areas like movement, communication, or self-care. Your GP, early childhood educator, or health visitor may raise concerns. An occupational therapist can assess your child's fine motor and functional skills, though they cannot diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD. The OT Place can help clarify whether occupational therapy support is appropriate for your child.
Will occupational therapy help my child catch up to their peers?
Occupational therapy aims to help your child develop skills and independence at their own pace. Progress varies depending on the underlying factors and your child's individual needs. The OT Place focuses on functional goals that matter to your family—like holding a pencil or managing buttons—rather than guaranteeing specific outcomes. Regular sessions combined with home strategies typically support meaningful development.
Can The OT Place help me access NDIS funding?
The OT Place can discuss how occupational therapy might fit within an NDIS plan and support your understanding of services available in 2025-26. However, NDIS eligibility and planning decisions are managed by the NDIA. The OT Place recommends contacting the NDIA directly or speaking with a local coordinator to explore whether your child may qualify for funding support.
