Early Autism Supports
We provide early autism and allied health support through play-based learning in an inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming environment. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based practices to support each child’s unique development.

How we support every child
Providing early supports
We deliver early intervention in a long day-care and kindergarten setting supporting families to access specialist support.
Evidence-based approach
We use the principals in the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), a play and relationship-based approach to optimise young children’s learning in everyday routines and everyday places.
Collaborative research
We collaborate with researchers contributing to the understanding of early autism supports that promote well-being.
Our allied health team
At the heart of our work is a multidisciplinary team of passionate professionals, each dedicated to supporting children's development through evidence-based, compassionate, and collaborative care. Our team brings together diverse expertise to ensure every child receives the support they need to thrive.
Our team incorporates professionals in early childhood education (educators and teachers), psychologists, speech pathologists, and management and administration.
