Services MoveAbout offers for fine motor delay
MoveAbout lists fine motor skills support as one of its services. Fine motor skills involve the small, coordinated movements of the hands and fingers needed for tasks like writing, fastening buttons, using cutlery, and drawing. When children experience delays in this area, occupational therapy typically focuses on building strength, coordination, and control through structured activities and play-based practice.
According to its listing, MoveAbout may support fine motor development through targeted interventions. Common activities in this area include hand strengthening exercises using items such as playdough, tweezers, or therapy putty to build the small muscles needed for pencil control. Threading beads or completing puzzles helps develop finger dexterity and hand-eye coordination. Scissor skills practice is another typical component, progressing from adaptive scissors to standard scissors as the child develops control.
Children with fine motor delays often benefit from graded practice—starting with larger, easier movements and gradually progressing to more precise tasks. MoveAbout's occupational therapists may also recommend strategies and equipment to use at home and school to support skill development across different environments.
If a child's family receives NDIS funding, the cost of services may be covered under their plan, depending on their approved supports and budget allocation for 2025-26. Families without NDIS funding would typically pay privately for services at MoveAbout. It is advisable to contact the clinic directly to discuss eligibility, funding options, and how their approach aligns with the child's specific needs.

Common questions
How does an occupational therapist assess fine motor delays in children?
An occupational therapist typically observes how a child performs everyday tasks like holding a pencil, using scissors, fastening buttons, and manipulating small objects. They may use standardised assessments to measure hand strength, coordination, and control. This information helps identify specific areas of difficulty and guides the development of a tailored support plan. MoveAbout would conduct this assessment during an initial appointment.
Can occupational therapy help my child if they have autism or ADHD?
Occupational therapists can support children with autism or ADHD by addressing functional skills like fine motor control, but they cannot diagnose these conditions. If fine motor delay is present alongside autism or ADHD, therapy can focus on the motor skills component. A child's doctor or paediatrician is responsible for diagnosis. MoveAbout can discuss how their services might complement other support the child receives.
Is MoveAbout registered with the NDIS, and will my child's plan cover sessions?
NDIS registration for MoveAbout has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Families are encouraged to contact the clinic directly to ask about their NDIS status and whether they accept plan-managed or self-managed funding. If the clinic is not NDIS registered, private payment options may be available. Funding eligibility depends on the child's approved plan and budget allocation.
