BUILDING BLOCKS® Early Intervention for Autism – support for children with Autism and their families

The BUILDING BLOCKS® Early Intervention for Autism offers targeted support for children with autism and their families. Through partnership with Aspect (Autism Spectrum Australia), this program involves a two hour therapy session for a group of six children, facilitated by early childhood staff while a parallel session is run for carers by a psychologist or similar professional. This is followed by a 30 minute informal carer/child play session supported by early childhood staff. This enables both children and their carers to immediately integrate and implement the lessons learned from the sessions. It is a 12 month program held during school terms.

Contact the Child and Family Support Services Manager at The Infants’ Home on (02) 9799 4844 for more information. Referrals can be attained by contacting Aspect on (02) 8977 8300 and enrolments are taken for the sessions in December and January for the following year.

Sessions run on Monday mornings and afternoons. Contact Aspect to discuss costs of the program.
