Services Western Children's Health Centre offers for developmental delay
Western Children's Health Centre provides occupational therapy support for children experiencing developmental delay across motor skills, self-care abilities, and play participation. Through individualised assessment and intervention, the clinic helps children build foundational skills needed for everyday activities and learning. Specific interventions might include fine-motor exercises such as threading, cutting, and pencil grip activities to support writing readiness; gross-motor activities using equipment like stepping stones and balance beams to develop coordination and body awareness; and structured play-based learning to encourage age-appropriate social and cognitive development. The therapists at Western Children's Health Centre also work with families to embed strategies into daily routines at home and school, recognising that consistent practice across environments supports progress. Many families access occupational therapy for developmental delay through NDIS funding (2025-26 pricing structures apply where eligible), though Western Children's Health Centre can also support families with private sessions. The clinic takes a collaborative approach, liaising with educators, allied health professionals, and families to ensure therapy goals align with each child's individual needs and priorities.

Common questions
How does occupational therapy help my child with developmental delay?
Occupational therapists focus on helping children develop skills for daily activities, play, and learning. Western Children's Health Centre uses play-based activities, movement exercises, and practical strategies tailored to your child's needs. An OT cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental coordination disorder, but can identify skill gaps and support development across motor, self-care, and social participation areas.
Can Western Children's Health Centre help if my child receives NDIS funding?
Yes, many families use NDIS funding for occupational therapy services. Western Children's Health Centre can discuss funding options with you, including NDIS arrangements under 2025-26 pricing structures where applicable. The clinic also offers private sessions for families without NDIS support. Contact them directly to discuss your specific situation.
What should I expect during the first appointment?
Your child's first appointment typically involves observation, discussion of your concerns and goals, and assessment of current skills. The therapist at Western Children's Health Centre will gather information about your child's development, daily routines, and what matters most to your family. This helps create a personalised therapy plan moving forward.
