Developmental delay can manifest in one or several areas, including cognitive (thinking), language, emotional and social skills and motor development. If you have concerns about your child’s fine motor skills (using a pencil, scissors or lego) or gross motor skills (jumping, running, lifting) we can assist, with our Cairns developmental delay physiotherapy.
Cairns developmental delay physiotherapy uses the BOT-2 assessment to evaluate your child’s fundamental motor skills, such as balancing, running, strength and agility. Valid for ages 4-21, this test allows for a comprehensive assessment while your child completes playful and fun tasks, such as balancing on one leg, bouncing a ball and cutting out a circle.
We will interpret results and supply a report on your child’s motor skills development, providing age-matched scores, any areas of concern and recommendations for further intervention. This may be used to grade your child’s development, assist with funding applications (e.g NDIS) or to plan a treatment program which may include play therapy.
