Developmental delay Support at VMCH — Across VIC
VMCH in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for developmental delay.
Services VMCH offers for developmental delay
Developmental delay can affect how children develop skills across many areas, including fine motor control. VMCH's occupational therapy clinic in Across supports children by addressing fine motor difficulties that often accompany developmental delay. Fine motor skills—like holding a pencil, fastening buttons, or manipulating small objects—are essential for independence and learning. Through targeted interventions, VMCH helps children build these capabilities. Examples of activities used include threading beads and using tweezers to develop finger strength and coordination, scissor skills practice to improve hand control, and play-based activities with building blocks or puzzles to enhance dexterity. The clinic works collaboratively with families to embed these strategies into everyday routines at home. If your child is eligible for NDIS support under the 2025-26 funding arrangements, VMCH is registered to provide occupational therapy services, which can help cover the cost of these interventions. Early support with fine motor development can significantly improve a child's confidence and participation in school and daily activities.

Common questions
How does occupational therapy help with developmental delay?
Occupational therapy addresses the everyday skills children need to participate in activities like self-care, play, and learning. VMCH's therapists work on areas such as fine motor control, coordination, and independence skills. They use play-based activities tailored to your child's interests and abilities, helping them develop at their own pace while building confidence and engagement in daily routines.
Can occupational therapy diagnose conditions like autism or ADHD?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism, ADHD, or sensory processing difficulties. However, VMCH's therapists can identify functional challenges with skills like fine motor control and coordination, and provide support to help your child manage these areas. If diagnosis is needed, your GP or paediatrician can arrange appropriate assessments.
Can NDIS funding cover therapy at VMCH?
Yes, VMCH is NDIS-registered, meaning if your child is eligible for NDIS support under 2025-26 funding arrangements, occupational therapy services at the clinic can be covered by your plan. Contact VMCH directly to discuss your child's needs and how NDIS funding might apply to your situation.
