Intensive ESDM Therapy Clinical Program
Our Intensive ESDM Therapy Clinical Program provides structured, evidence-based early intervention for young children with autism and developmental delays. Through play-based, relationship-focused sessions, our therapists support communication, social interaction, cognition, imitation, play, motor skills and everyday independence.
Each child receives an individualised program based on their developmental strengths, needs and goals. Therapy is delivered by trained ESDM practitioners under clinical supervision, with ongoing collaboration between families, educators, speech pathologists, occupational therapists and other professionals involved in the child’s care.
By creating a consistent team around the child, we help children build meaningful skills, strengthen their relationships and reach their unique potential across home, clinic, kindergarten and school environments.

Readiness
Group
Our Saturday School Readiness Group supports children to develop the skills and confidence needed for a successful transition to kindergarten or school. Through structured play, group activities and evidence-based teaching strategies, children practise following routines, participating in group learning, listening to instructions, taking turns and transitioning between activities.
Sessions also focus on communication, emotional regulation, social interaction, independence, fine motor development and early literacy and numeracy concepts. Each child is supported according to their individual needs in a fun, encouraging and inclusive environment, helping them feel more confident and prepared for the classroom.
Support Work
A select few of our therapists can also provide support work, offering families flexible assistance outside standard business hours. Unlike traditional support work, our team brings their early intervention and therapeutic expertise into everyday routines, helping children build communication, independence, emotional regulation, social skills and daily living skills while participating in home and community activities.
This allows children to receive practical support while continuing to work toward their individual goals in a natural, everyday environment
