Discover the Early Start Denver Model in Sydney

Welcome to OneOnOne Children’s Therapy: Empowering Children with Autism

Are you seeking effective autism therapy for your child in Sydney? Discover how the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) at OneOnOne Children’s Therapy can make a difference. Our specialised ESDM services, available at our Bondi Junction and Mascot clinics, offer comprehensive, personalised care to support your child’s developmental needs.

Why Choose the Early Start Denver Model?

Proven Autism Therapy

The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is a proven method for early autism treatment. There is plenty of research to support this therapy. ESDM combines behavioural therapy with developmental and relationship-focused techniques, creating a well-rounded and effective therapy model that promotes meaningful progress.

Personalised Treatment Plans

A key component of the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is the unique therapy plans based on your child’s strengths and developmental goals. After a detailed assessment, we create targeted interventions to address specific needs, ensuring your child receives the most effective support possible.

Family-Centred Approach

Parents are vital to the success of ESDM therapy. We involve you in the therapy process, providing strategies to support your child’s progress at home. Parent coaching ensures consistency and reinforces learning in everyday situations.

Comprehensive Support

Our therapy covers communication, social skills, play, cognitive abilities, and adaptive behaviours. ESDM therapy integrates these areas to promote overall growth and development, helping your child thrive across all aspects of life.

Proven Results

Research shows that children receiving ESDM therapy make significant gains in IQ, adaptive behaviour, and social communication skills. This approach enhances language, social interaction, and cognitive abilities, leading to better developmental outcomes.

What Does Early Start Denver Model Involve?

Structured and Play-Based Activities

ESDM therapy uses a mix of structured and play-based activities to support learning and development. Play is key because it engages children naturally and makes learning fun. By embedding teaching within enjoyable activities, children remain motivated and eager to participate.

Enhancing Communication Skills

Our sessions focus on boosting communication skills. We use techniques like modelling, prompting, and natural reinforcement to help children develop language and communicate effectively.

Social Engagement

We improve social skills through interactive play and activities that promote joint attention, turn-taking, and cooperation. These skills help children build meaningful relationships and interact positively with others.

Fostering Positive Relationships

Early Start Denver Model therapy emphasises creating positive relationships between the child, therapist, and family. A supportive and trusting relationship is essential for effective learning and development.

Is Early Start Denver Model Sydney Right for Your Child?

Early Intervention

If your child has autism and you’re seeking a play based, naturalistic early intervention, ESDM therapy can help. Early intervention leads to better long-term outcomes, improving your child’s ability to learn, communicate, and interact.

Tailored for Your Child

ESDM therapy is customised for each child, making it suitable for different levels of autism. Therapists adjust the intervention based on the child’s progress, ensuring therapy stays effective and relevant.

Remarkable Progress with ESDM Therapy

At OneOnOne Children’s Therapy, we’ve seen amazing progress in children who receive ESDM therapy. Take three-year-old Leni, for example. Diagnosed with autism at age two, she showed significant improvements in communication and social interaction within a few months of starting ESDM therapy at our Sydney clinics. Her parents noticed positive changes in her mood and confidence, making everyday interactions more enjoyable and fulfilling.
