Sound familiar?
Does any of this sound familiar?
An OT looks at how movement, coordination and everyday skills are developing, and which tasks around the house, at kindy or at school feel hard.
Holding a pencil or getting dressed is a daily struggle
Buttons, zips, shoelaces or cutlery are hard, and handwriting is tiring or messy for your child.
Your child is not keeping up with their peers
They are hesitant to join in at the playground, avoid physical activities, or seem to be developing physical skills differently.

How OT helps
What an OT looks at with motor skills and coordination
Start with what is hard day to day, then build practical strategies around it.
Movement that looks awkward or effortful
Tripping, bumping into things, holding a pencil awkwardly or tiring quickly during play — and what might be making those tasks harder than they need to be.
Everyday skills that take longer
Getting dressed, doing up buttons and shoelaces, using cutlery or managing lunch — and how those skills fit into your child’s day.
Play, sport and joining in
Catching, climbing, riding a bike or keeping up with other children, and what would make taking part feel easier and more enjoyable.
The team talks through what you are noticing and confirms whether occupational therapy is the right fit before anything is booked.

Questions
Sunshine Coast questions about child motor skills and coordination ot
No diagnosis is needed to ask. The team talks through what you are noticing and confirms whether occupational therapy fits before anything is booked.
Not necessarily. Tripping, bumping into things or finding certain tasks tricky does not on its own tell us what is going on. The team talks through what you are noticing, your child’s age and what is happening day to day, and confirms whether occupational therapy is a helpful next step.
No. Occupational therapy looks at how your child is managing everyday tasks and what might make them easier. It is a functional occupational therapy assessment, not a medical diagnosis, and the team explains what an assessment would and would not cover before anything is booked.
A new or sudden loss of skills, strength or coordination needs prompt medical attention, not an OT booking. For sudden weakness or a medical emergency, call 000.
NDIS, a Medicare referral or private payment may apply, depending on your child and the service. The team checks the funding pathway and explains relevant fees before anything is booked.
Yes. Parents, carers and young people can enquire, and the team talks through what you are noticing before confirming whether occupational therapy fits.
