Evidence based Intervention for young children with Autism ESDM targets key features of autism through intensive teaching within a play-based curriculum.

The ESDM or "Early Start Denver Model" is a research based early intervention program for children with autism between the ages of 1-7 years. It uses relationship-focused routines and strategies following a natural developmental progression. Starting with a detailed assessment, the model is individually customised to tailor personal objectives to your child. Sheryl is a certified therapist proudly providing ESDM therapy to the Illawarra. Having firsthand experience raising a child with autism, Sheryl is passionate about improving the outcome for young children through quality intervention.

Precious moments in pretend play….. Here I am getting a careful make over with egg crayons by this little client in one of her 1:1 EDDM Therapy sessions.

Smiles like these are the biggest rewards of my work. Thanks to the mumma who allowed me to share this photo of her precious boy in a 1:1 ESDM session recently.

Taking turns writing our own "Crazy stories" in an ESDM session with Arty until we belly laugh at the ridiculousness!

As we head into the "crazy season", don't forget to take time to laugh with each other! Take care out there.

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.
