Developmental delay Support at The Speech & OT Centre — Across NSW
The Speech & OT Centre in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services The Speech & OT Centre offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills across different areas, including fine motor abilities like grasping, hand strength, and coordination. The Speech & OT Centre supports children experiencing developmental delay through targeted fine motor intervention. Our occupational therapists work with children using practical, play-based activities tailored to their individual needs. Examples of interventions include threading and bead work to develop pincer grip and hand-eye coordination, scissor skills training using adaptive equipment, and hand strengthening exercises incorporated into games and craft activities. These sessions help children build the foundational skills needed for everyday tasks like self-care, writing, and play. The Speech & OT Centre recognises that many families access support through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), and we work collaboratively to ensure therapy aligns with your child's goals and plan. Our approach focuses on functional improvements within meaningful contexts—whether that's preparing for school, developing independence, or enhancing participation in family activities. Each child's programme is individualised, as developmental delay presents differently across children.

Common questions
Can occupational therapy diagnose developmental delay?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose developmental delay or conditions like autism or ADHD. However, our therapists can assess your child's functional abilities, identify areas where they may benefit from support, and work with you and your child's doctor or paediatrician as part of the diagnostic process. We focus on improving skills and participation in daily activities.
How does The Speech & OT Centre tailor therapy for my child's needs?
We begin with a comprehensive assessment of your child's fine motor skills, hand strength, coordination, and how these affect daily activities. From this, we develop an individualised therapy plan targeting specific goals you've identified. Sessions incorporate play-based, functional activities that are meaningful to your child and family, ensuring therapy translates to real-world improvements.
Does The Speech & OT Centre accept NDIS funding?
We recommend contacting The Speech & OT Centre directly to confirm current NDIS registration status and funding arrangements for 2025-26. Many families use NDIS plans to access occupational therapy services, and our team can discuss how we might support your child's goals within your funding.
