Early Start Denver Model Bondi Junction

Our Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) Program in Bondi Junction!

At OneOnOne Children’s Therapy, we offer the Early Start Denver Model form our Bondi Junction clinic! As Sydney’s leading Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) clinic, we have been providing high quality ESDM therapy from our Bondi Junction location for the past 10 years.

Understanding the Early Start Denver Model in Bondi Junction

The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is a comprehensive, play-based therapy designed for young children with autism aged 12 to 48 months. Developed by Dr. Sally Rogers and Dr. Geraldine Dawson, ESDM combines principles from Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) with developmental and relationship-based approaches. The goal is to support children in improving cognitive, language, social, and motor skills through fun and engaging activities.

Core Principles of ESDM

Several key principles set ESDM apart from other early intervention methods:

1. Naturalistic Teaching: ESDM uses everyday activities and routines to teach new skills, making learning more relevant and enjoyable for the child.
2. Joint Attention: Therapists focus on building the child’s ability to share attention and engage in social interactions, which is crucial for communication and learning.
3. Developmental Appropriateness: Activities are tailored to the child’s developmental level, ensuring they are suitable for their age and abilities.
4. Family Involvement: Parents and caregivers actively participate in the therapy process, learning strategies to support their child’s development at home.
