Some children may need additional support with fine motor skills, such as drawing, dressing and using cutlery, or gross motor skills, such as running, jumping, balancing and climbing.
Our therapists use engaging, play-based activities to build your child’s skills while considering their individual strengths, interests and developmental needs.
Support may include obstacle courses, movement games, ball activities, climbing, drawing, craft, construction play and practicing everyday tasks. Activities are tailored to your child’s interests and abilities, with practical strategies provided for home, childcare or school.

When a suitable space becomes available, we will offer your family a place with an Early Intervention Specialist who will become your keyworker and main point of contact.
Your keyworker will meet with your family for a goal setting session. Relevant assessments may also be completed to help us understand your child’s strengths, support needs and everyday participation.
Your keyworker will meet with the wider therapy team to discuss your child’s needs and draw on expertise from occupational therapy, speech pathology, developmental education and psychosocial practice. A personalised goal and support plan will then be developed with your family.
Your keyworker will provide regular therapy with your child and family, working towards meaningful goals within your child’s everyday environments

At Blended Therapy Services, we understand that navigating early intervention can be overwhelming. Here are some common questions we receive.
We support children to develop fine and gross motor skills for play and everyday activities. Fine motor skills involve smaller movements, such as using pencils, scissors, cutlery and buttons. Gross motor skills involve larger movements, such as running, jumping, climbing, balancing and catching a ball.
Depending on your child’s needs and current skills, we may focus on hand strength, coordination, using both sides of the body together, balance and motor planning (planning and carrying out movements). We connect these skills to activities that matter to your child and family, such as drawing, getting dressed or joining in play.
