Services Thrive Occupational Therapy offers for fine motor delay
Thrive Occupational Therapy lists Fine Motor and Handwriting as services that may support children experiencing fine motor skills delay. Fine motor skills involve the small, coordinated movements of the hands and fingers needed for everyday tasks like fastening buttons, holding cutlery, and drawing. Handwriting is a complex fine motor skill that requires strength, coordination, and motor planning.
According to its listing, Thrive Occupational Therapy may use targeted activities to build these skills. Examples of interventions typically used in paediatric occupational therapy for fine motor delay include threading beads or pegs to develop finger strength and precision, scissor activities to improve hand control and bilateral coordination, and structured handwriting practice using graded pencil grips and sensory-rich writing tools. The clinic may also incorporate play-based activities that naturally develop fine motor control.
Children with fine motor delay may benefit from early intervention to prevent secondary impacts on school participation and confidence. Families accessing NDIS funding (2025-26) may be able to direct their plan towards occupational therapy services. However, NDIS registration for Thrive Occupational Therapy has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot, so families should contact the clinic directly to discuss funding options and eligibility.

Common questions
How do I know if my child has a fine motor delay?
Signs may include difficulty holding a pencil, struggling with buttons or zips, messy handwriting, or avoiding fine motor activities. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills through observation and standardised tests. However, an OT cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental coordination disorder—that requires a medical professional. Thrive Occupational Therapy can discuss whether an assessment is appropriate for your child.
What age can children start occupational therapy for fine motor skills?
Fine motor development begins in infancy and continues through childhood. Early intervention is often beneficial, and children of various ages may benefit from support. Thrive Occupational Therapy can advise on whether your child's age and developmental stage are suitable for their services. Contact the clinic to discuss your child's specific situation.
Can my child's NDIS plan cover occupational therapy at this clinic?
NDIS registration for Thrive Occupational Therapy has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Some families use NDIS funding for occupational therapy services, depending on their plan and goals. Contact Thrive Occupational Therapy directly to ask about their current registration status, fees, and whether they accept NDIS funding for the 2025-26 financial year.
