Exciting News: OneOnOne Children’s Therapy Expands to Mascot!
At OneOnOne Children’s Therapy, we are thrilled to announce that we are expanding our services to a new clinic in Mascot! As Sydney’s leading Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) clinic, we have been providing top-notch services from our Bondi Junction location for the past 10 years. Now, we are excited to bring our expertise to Mascot to better serve families in Sydney’s south and southeast regions.
Understanding the Early Start Denver Model in Mascot
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:
- Naturalistic Teaching: ESDM uses everyday activities and routines to teach new skills, making learning more relevant and enjoyable for the child.
- 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.
- Developmental Appropriateness: Activities are tailored to the child’s developmental level, ensuring they are suitable for their age and abilities.
- Family Involvement: Parents and caregivers actively participate in the therapy process, learning strategies to support their child’s development at home.
Our Journey and Growth with the Early Start Denver Model
We have been operating from Bondi Junction with two amazing clinics. These clinics provide a range of services, including the ESDM. Our larger clinic offers the space necessary for the intensive Group ESDM program, attracting families from all over Sydney.
Why Early Start Denver Model Mascot?
Many families who travel to Bondi Junction come from Sydney’s south and southeast. To better support these families, we decided to open a more accessible clinic in Mascot. After extensive research, we determined that Mascot was the best choice, reducing travel time for families from the south while remaining convenient for those from the east.
