Services Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan offers for fine motor delay
Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan's paediatric occupational therapy clinic across NSW supports children experiencing fine motor skills delay through targeted, play-based interventions. Fine motor development is essential for everyday activities like writing, fastening buttons, using cutlery, and drawing. At Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan's clinic, occupational therapists work with children to strengthen hand muscles and improve coordination through carefully graded activities. Examples of interventions include threading beads and using tweezers to develop pincer grip strength, scissor skills practice with adaptive equipment, and hand-strengthening games using playdough and resistance tools. Therapists also address underlying factors such as posture and bilateral coordination that support fine motor control. Sessions are tailored to each child's interests and developmental level, making therapy engaging and meaningful. If your child is eligible for NDIS funding under the 2025-26 scheme, occupational therapy services may be covered as part of your plan. Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan's clinic can discuss funding options during your initial consultation. Early intervention in fine motor delay can help children build confidence and independence in self-care and learning activities.

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, trouble fastening buttons or zips, messy handwriting, reluctance to draw or write, or clumsiness with small objects. An occupational therapist can assess your child's skills and compare them to developmental milestones. However, an OT cannot diagnose conditions like autism or developmental coordination disorder—a paediatrician or specialist would do this. Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan's clinic can identify specific areas needing support.
What should I expect during the first appointment?
The occupational therapist will chat with you about your child's developmental history, daily routines, and concerns. They'll observe your child playing and completing age-appropriate tasks to assess fine motor skills. You'll discuss goals and how therapy might help. The therapist will explain their approach and answer your questions. Sessions are typically child-friendly and play-based rather than formal testing.
Can NDIS funding cover therapy at this clinic?
Occupational therapy is often funded through NDIS plans if fine motor delay is identified as a support need. Funding availability depends on your child's eligibility and plan approval. Dr Sarah Wilkes-Gillan's clinic can discuss your funding options and help you understand what services might be covered under 2025-26 NDIS arrangements. Contact the clinic directly to confirm their registration status and funding details.
