Developmental delay Support at The Child Development Hub — North Lakes, QLD

The Child Development Hub lists fine motor support as a service available to children with developmental delay. Fine motor skills—the ability to control small hand and finger movements—are foundational for activities like writing, drawing, fastening buttons, using cutlery, and manipulating toys. Children with developmental delay may experience difficulties in these areas, which can affect their independence and participation in everyday routines and learning.

According to its listing, The Child Development Hub may address fine motor concerns through targeted activities and interventions. Examples of approaches typically used in occupational therapy for fine motor development include hand-strengthening exercises using therapy putty or resistance tools, pencil grip training with adaptive writing implements, and fine-motor play activities such as threading beads, completing puzzles, or manipulating small objects. The clinic may also incorporate sensory strategies to support motor planning and coordination.

Children with developmental delay accessing The Child Development Hub may be eligible for NDIS funding to support these services, depending on their plan and goals. Under the 2025-26 NDIS pricing arrangements, occupational therapy sessions are funded at set rates for eligible participants. Parents considering this clinic should discuss how fine motor goals align with their child's NDIS plan, if applicable, and what specific activities the occupational therapist recommends for their child's needs.
