Early intervention Support at VMCH — Across VIC
VMCH in Across VIC lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for early intervention.
Services VMCH offers for early intervention
Early childhood development relies on foundational skills in fine motor control and sensory processing. At VMCH, our occupational therapists support children in building these essential abilities through tailored interventions. Fine motor development—such as grasping, hand strength, and coordination—underpins writing, self-care, and play skills. We use activities like threading beads, playdough manipulation, and scissor work to strengthen these abilities in engaging ways. Sensory processing support helps children regulate their responses to touch, movement, and environmental stimuli, which is crucial for learning and social participation. VMCH incorporates sensory strategies such as weighted equipment use, movement breaks on sensory swings, and tactile exploration activities to help children develop better body awareness and self-regulation. These services align with early intervention principles, helping children develop confidence and independence during critical developmental windows. If your child is NDIS-eligible, VMCH is registered to provide services under the 2025-26 funding arrangements, making therapy more accessible. Our team works collaboratively with families and other professionals to support your child's developmental journey.

About early intervention
Early childhood is a time of rapid development across play, movement, communication, self-care, and social skills. When concerns about a child's early development arise, paediatric occupational therapy is one of the allied health supports often involved.

Common questions
Can occupational therapy help if my child has difficulty with fine motor skills like holding a pencil?
Yes. VMCH's occupational therapists assess fine motor development and provide targeted activities to improve hand strength, coordination, and control. Through play-based exercises and everyday tasks, children develop the skills needed for writing, eating, and dressing. Progress is gradual and individualised to your child's needs and interests.
What if my child seems overly sensitive to textures or sounds?
Sensory sensitivities are common in early childhood. VMCH can help your child develop better sensory processing skills through graded exposure and regulation strategies. However, occupational therapists cannot diagnose conditions like sensory processing disorder—a medical diagnosis requires a paediatrician or specialist. We support your child's functional abilities.
Does VMCH accept NDIS funding?
Yes, VMCH is NDIS-registered and can provide services under the 2025-26 funding scheme if your child is eligible. We recommend discussing your child's plan with your NDIS planner or local coordinator to confirm funding availability and arrange a referral to our clinic.
