Some children may need additional support to initiate interactions, communicate their ideas, understand social situations or participate in shared activities with peers.
Our therapists use a neuroaffirming approach that respects your child’s communication style, boundaries and individual way of connecting—without expecting eye contact or encouraging them to mask who they are.
Support may include interest-based activities, collaborative games, role-play, visual resources, shared problem-solving and supported opportunities to connect with peers. Strategies are tailored to your child’s communication style, interests and goals, with a focus on authentic connection rather than compliance.
Individualised support for your child and family.

When a suitable space becomes available, we will offer your family a place with an Early Intervention Specialist who will become your keyworker and main point of contact.
Your keyworker will meet with your family for a goal setting session. Relevant assessments may also be completed to help us understand your child’s strengths, support needs and everyday participation.
Your keyworker will meet with the wider therapy team to discuss your child’s needs and draw on expertise from occupational therapy, speech pathology, developmental education and psychosocial practice. A personalised goal and support plan will then be developed with your family.
Your keyworker will provide regular therapy with your child and family, working towards meaningful goals within your child’s everyday environments

We support children to build skills and confidence to connect with others. This may include initiating interactions, joining play, taking turns, having conversations, communicating boundaries and navigating disagreements.
Depending on your child’s needs and current skills, we may focus on expressing ideas and preferences, recognising others’ feelings and perspectives, asking to join an activity, negotiating during play and solving problems together. Our goals are guided by what matters to your child and family.
