Services Child First Therapy offers for developmental delay
Child First Therapy lists developmental delay as a service area. Developmental delay occurs when a child's progress in areas such as movement, communication, play skills, or self-care lags behind typical age expectations. According to its listing, the clinic offers occupational therapy support for children experiencing these delays.
Occupational therapy for developmental delay typically focuses on building skills across everyday activities and participation. Common interventions listed by Child First Therapy may include fine-motor exercises such as threading beads, scissor practice, or pencil grip activities to support writing readiness. Gross-motor activities might involve coordination work using equipment like stepping stones or balance beams to improve movement confidence. The clinic may also incorporate sensory strategies, such as weighted lap pads or tactile play experiences, to support attention and engagement during learning.
Children with developmental delay may be eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025-26 scheme if they meet access criteria. However, NDIS registration for Child First Therapy has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot, so families should verify funding eligibility and provider status directly. An occupational therapist can identify functional goals and work toward participation in school, home, and community settings, though they cannot diagnose underlying conditions such as autism or cerebral palsy.

Common questions
How does occupational therapy help a child with developmental delay?
Occupational therapy addresses delays in everyday skills like self-care, play, movement, and communication. Child First Therapy works on activities tailored to each child's needs—such as dressing, eating, writing, or playing with peers—to build confidence and independence in daily routines and school participation.
Can Child First Therapy help if my child has been diagnosed with a specific condition causing the delay?
Yes. Child First Therapy lists developmental delay as a service area and can support children with various underlying conditions. However, occupational therapists do not diagnose conditions; they focus on functional skills and participation. A diagnosis from a paediatrician or other specialist is needed first.
Does Child First Therapy accept NDIS funding?
NDIS registration for Child First Therapy has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Families should contact the clinic directly to ask about NDIS eligibility, funding arrangements, and whether they are registered as a provider for the 2025-26 scheme.
