Thrive Children's Occupational Therapy in Across SA lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services Thrive Children's Occupational Therapy offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children acquire skills in everyday activities, and occupational therapy plays an important role in supporting their progress. At Thrive Children's Occupational Therapy in Across, we address developmental delay through targeted interventions tailored to each child's needs. Our fine motor services help children develop the hand strength and coordination needed for activities like threading beads, using scissors, and holding pencils—skills that form the foundation for writing and self-care. We use graded activities that gradually increase in complexity, allowing children to build confidence alongside capability. For broader developmental concerns, Thrive Children's Occupational Therapy works with children on activities of daily living such as dressing, feeding, and play skills that may be developing at a slower pace. Our therapists might use play-based learning, adaptive equipment, or environmental modifications to support participation. Many families access our services through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing arrangements), which can cover occupational therapy supports for eligible children. We recommend discussing funding options during your initial consultation to understand what may be available for your child's therapy journey.

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
Can occupational therapy diagnose developmental delay?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose developmental delay or conditions like autism or ADHD. However, our therapists at Thrive Children's Occupational Therapy can identify areas where your child may be experiencing difficulty with everyday skills and work collaboratively with your GP or paediatrician to support assessment and referral pathways if needed.
How long does it usually take to see progress?
Progress varies depending on your child's individual needs and consistency of therapy and home practice. Some children show changes within weeks, whilst others benefit from longer-term support. Thrive Children's Occupational Therapy works with you to set realistic goals and regularly reviews progress to ensure therapy remains effective and relevant.
Can we use NDIS funding for therapy at Thrive?
We recommend contacting Thrive Children's Occupational Therapy directly to discuss NDIS registration and funding arrangements. Many families access occupational therapy through NDIS plans (2025-26 pricing), though eligibility and registration status should be confirmed when you enquire about services.
