Fine motor delay Support at Tightrope Learning — Across NSW
Tightrope Learning in Across NSW lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for fine motor delay.
Services Tightrope Learning offers for fine motor delay
Fine motor skills are essential for everyday activities like writing, drawing, fastening buttons, and using cutlery. At Tightrope Learning, our occupational therapists work with children who experience delays in these areas, helping them build strength, coordination, and confidence. Our fine motor service includes targeted activities tailored to each child's needs and developmental stage. Examples of interventions we use include precision grip exercises with tweezers and small objects to strengthen finger muscles, scissor skills practice through cutting activities that progress in difficulty, and hand-strengthening games such as playdough manipulation and threading beads. We also incorporate sensory strategies—like using textured materials and weighted utensils—to support motor planning and control. Tightrope Learning recognises that fine motor development underpins school readiness and independence. If your child may be eligible for NDIS funding in the 2025-26 financial year, occupational therapy is a commonly funded support. We encourage families to discuss funding options during their initial consultation, though NDIS registration status should be confirmed directly with the clinic.

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 delay?
Signs include difficulty holding pencils or cutlery, struggling with buttons or zips, poor scissor control, messy handwriting, or avoiding fine motor tasks. An occupational therapist at Tightrope Learning can assess your child's skills through observation and standardised tests to identify specific areas needing support. Early identification helps children develop confidence and independence.
Can occupational therapy help my child if they have autism or ADHD?
Occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing differences—that's a medical role. However, Tightrope Learning can support fine motor challenges regardless of underlying cause. If your child has been diagnosed with these conditions, OT can address motor skill difficulties as part of their overall development and independence.
Does NDIS cover fine motor therapy at Tightrope Learning?
Occupational therapy, including fine motor support, is commonly funded under NDIS plans for eligible children. Funding availability and amounts vary based on individual plans and the 2025-26 financial year arrangements. Contact Tightrope Learning directly to discuss your child's eligibility and how NDIS funding might apply to their care.
