My Story

Being a parent of a child with ASD is a difficult job. It is not without it’s share of highs, lows, trip ups, and exciting discoveries. Finding the ESDM or "Early Start Denver Model," was my first “sigh of relief” in my early journey with my son with ASD. Not only is it a research based early intervention program targeting all the right things, it just makes sense! One of my clients recently said to me, “ESDM is the obvious way to do things that you just didn’t realise before!” And that’s exactly right! ESDM uses play and relationship-focused routines and strategies to follow in a natural developmental progression. While many therapies focus on one area in isolation, this is a holistic approach. I’m proud to be the longest serving provider of clinic based ESDM in the Illawarra.
