DEVELOPMENTAL SUPPORTS

Our Developmental Supports are designed specifically for autistic and neurodivergent children 9 and under, in line with the NDIS Early Childhood Approach. Based in Wentworth Falls, our BUILD, CREATE, and MOVE sessions are structured around each child’s developmental needs and goals.

We work in partnership with families to embed strategies into everyday routines, tracking progress through regular feedback and reflection. Flexible, developmentally attuned options are also available for children over 9.

​​

Developmental Goals We Support
  • Emotional regulation through interoceptive and sensory-informed strategies

​​Our Developmental Support Approach

Sessions are designed around engaging themes that spark curiosity and intrinsic motivation. Each session is tailored to the child’s sensory profile, interests, and developmental needs, using our three targeted session types—BUILD, CREATE, and MOVE—as the primary tools. Children build through play, create through art, and move through body-based activities that support emotional regulation, autonomy, and connection —focussing on engagement, not compliance.

Supporting Real-World Skill Transfer​

Everything we do is designed to help children transfer skills into real-life situations — at home, school, and in the community. 

​Our trauma-informed, neuroaffirming model prioritises emotional safety, autonomy, and respect for neurodivergent development. We focus on helping children build the confidence and internal capacity to apply these skills—and support parents and carers to do the same, fostering lifelong growth.

Our Developmental Support Team 

Our Developmental Support sessions are delivered by our multidisciplinary team of educators, counsellors and art therapists — all with extensive experience supporting neurodivergent children. As Principal, Sarah leads the team and works directly with families — offering practical support, guidance, and advocacy to help children thrive at home, in their education, and in the community.
