Autism Education Programs We Offer
Early Intervention (2–6 years)
Early, focused support changes outcomes. Our early intervention for autism blends play-based ABA, sensory integration, and parent guidance to build foundational speech, imitation, and self-regulation skills.
School-Readiness Curriculum
- Pre-academic concepts: colours, numbers, pre-writing strokes.
- Group routines: lining up, turn-taking, following visual schedules.
- Emotional-regulation tools: calm-down kits, social stories, and role-play.
Social Skills & Communication Groups
Small peer groups (3–5 children) practise greetings, sharing, and conversation starters under clinician supervision. Sessions use video modelling, comic-strip conversations, and real-time feedback to turn autism social skills training into daily habits.
Navigating IEPs & School Inclusion
Guidance on Individualised Education Plans
- Free IEP orientation workshop every first Saturday.
