Services POTS Newcastle offers for developmental delay
POTS Newcastle lists fine motor support as a service that may assist children with developmental delay. Fine motor skills—the ability to control small hand and finger movements—are foundational for tasks like writing, drawing, fastening buttons, and self-feeding. When developmental delay affects these skills, children may struggle with age-appropriate activities at home and school.
According to its listing, POTS Newcastle may address fine motor difficulties through targeted activities and exercises. Examples of interventions commonly used in occupational therapy for this area include hand-strengthening activities such as threading beads or using tweezers to pick up small objects, pencil grip practice and mark-making exercises to prepare for writing, and manipulation of fasteners like zips and buttons during play-based sessions. The clinic may also incorporate fine motor activities into everyday routines to build confidence and independence.
Parents should note that POTS Newcastle's NDIS registration has not been confirmed in the current directory snapshot. Families accessing services through NDIS funding (2025-26 financial year) are encouraged to verify the clinic's registration status directly and confirm whether services can be claimed under their plan. An occupational therapist can support fine motor development but cannot diagnose conditions such as developmental coordination disorder or autism spectrum disorder.

Common questions
How can occupational therapy help if my child is behind with fine motor skills?
Occupational therapists assess how a child uses their hands and fingers in daily activities, then design tailored activities to build strength, coordination, and control. POTS Newcastle may use play-based exercises, everyday tasks, and structured practice to help children develop skills like holding a pencil, using cutlery, or managing buttons. Progress is typically gradual and depends on the child's starting point and engagement.
