Early Autism Supports

We're committed to meeting the needs of neurodiverse children, their families, and their education team through inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming, and evidence-based supports. Each child’s learning and development is supported by a team of professionals in collaboration with the child, their family, their early education team, and other professionals involved in the child’s overall care.

Watch what we do

Delivering early intervention

We deliver early intervention in a long day-care setting, supporting families to access specialist support.

Resources and long day-care, all under one roof.

Evidence-based approach used

We use the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), a play-based and relationship-based model.

This supports each child’s potential, across all areas of development.

Collaborative research

We collaborate with researchers contributing to the understanding of early intervention and autism.

Collaborating both nationally and internationally.
