When you have questions about your child’s development, getting the right support early on can make all the difference. Our early childhood intervention services in Epping offer warm, practical support to help you understand your child’s needs and take the next step with confidence.
At Solongo, we work with children on the autism spectrum and those with developmental delays through evidence-based, play-focused support. Therapy is shaped around your child, with parents and carers involved every step of the way.
Progress doesn’t always happen in big leaps. Often, it’s the small, everyday moments (communicating a need, joining a game, or becoming more comfortable with a routine) that have the greatest impact.
Our early childhood intervention services in Epping focus on building skills that can make a meaningful difference in your child’s day-to-day life. We look at where your child is now, what motivates them and where they could use extra support, then shape therapy around those priorities.
As your child develops, support can adapt with them.
Our early childhood intervention programs for Epping families use evidence-based approaches matched to each child’s individual developmental needs.
Support might focus on communication, social interaction, behaviour adjustments, skills development or preparing for kinder and school. Rather than following the same pathway for every child, we regularly review their progress and adjust therapy as new goals emerge.
Support can be delivered in-clinic, at home or via telehealth, depending on the service and what works best for your child and family. Your child’s plan may include a combination of the following therapies and supports.
Our ESDM-certified therapists use the Early Start Denver Model to work towards developmental goals through play and everyday interactions. Sessions can target areas such as communication, social engagement and learning while incorporating activities that interest and motivate your child.
If you’ve noticed differences in your child’s communication, behaviour or development, an autism spectrum assessment can help provide greater clarity. Our team guides families through the assessment process with care and explains what the findings may mean for the next steps.
Understanding funding options can feel like another thing to work out. Our team can guide you through the NDIS early intervention and help you understand how available funding may support your child’s therapy.
Our developmental education approach supports children in strengthening practical skills for everyday life, learning and participation. Sessions are tailored to your child’s developmental goals and can also help prepare them for kinder or school.
Our spectrum therapy is personalised around your child’s strengths and areas where they may need additional support. Therapy can help children develop practical skills while supporting greater confidence in everyday situations.
A social skills group gives children a supportive space to practise interacting with others. Through guided activities and play, children can work on skills such as communication, turn-taking, sharing and participating in a group.
What happens between therapy sessions matters too. Through ESDM parent training, parents and carers can learn practical strategies to create more opportunities for communication, learning, and connection in everyday routines at home.
At Solongo, parents and carers are part of the team. We listen to what you’re noticing at home, talk openly about your child’s progress and work together on goals that feel meaningful for your family.
That collaborative approach sits at the heart of our early childhood intervention services in Epping. Our aim is to make therapy feel supportive and manageable while helping your child build skills they can carry into everyday life.
You don’t need to know exactly what type of therapy your child needs before getting in touch. We’ll learn more about your child and answer any questions you have about the next steps.
From there, we can explore early childhood intervention programs in Epping shaped around your child’s needs. There’s no pressure to have everything decided straight away.
We typically work with children from around 12 months to the start of school. If you’re unsure whether a particular service is suitable for your child, our team can talk through your child’s age, developmental stage, and individual needs with you.
Yes. Depending on the service, support may be available in clinic, at home, or via telehealth. We can discuss what arrangement best suits your child and your family’s routine.
No. You can reach out for support even if your child does not yet have a formal diagnosis. If you have concerns about their development, we can help you understand the available options and what the next step might look like.
Many early intervention supports may be accessed using an NDIS plan. Our team can help you understand how funding relates to your child’s services and talk you through the process.
Contact our team for an initial conversation. We’ll learn more about your child’s strengths, needs and current challenges, then discuss what early childhood intervention programs in Epping would best support their development.

As parents, we felt truly empowered by her warm, professional, and collaborative approach. Sharon’s deep knowledge of the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) was evident in the way she thoughtfully guided us through strategies tailored to our child’s development. She communicated clearly and effectively in both English and Mandarin, ensuring that we fully understood and felt involved every step of the way. Her genuine care, cultural sensitivity, and commitment to empowering families made a significant impact on our journey. We wholeheartedly recommend Sharon to any family seeking high-quality, compassionate early intervention support.Posted on Google![]()

I had the privilege of being supervised by Sharon two years ago, and she was truly one of the most supportive and knowledgeable senior therapists I’ve worked with. She always gave honest, thoughtful feedback and took the time to guide me in a way that helped me grow both professionally and personally. What really stood out to me was Sharon’s strong passion for her work—she genuinely cares about making a difference, and it shows in everything she does. She’s warm, down-to-earth, and always willing to support those around her. I always felt comfortable asking questions and knew I could rely on her guidance. Anyone working with Sharon will be in amazing hands. She brings so much heart, dedication, and experience to her role—and I’m confident anyone who becomes her client will feel just as supported and satisfied.Posted on Google![]()

As a former employee and ESDM practitioner, I would highly recommend Solongo for its work culture and its commitment to best practices. Sharon is passionate about her work and provides high-touch, continual one-on-one support to both junior and senior therapists. Given how impactful early intervention can be, as well as the unique challenges and strengths that each child brings, I felt adequately supported to hone my practise and to ask for help when needed. It was very meaningful working here, and I would recommend working at Solongo to anyone with a background/passion for developmental psychology, ASD, disability, and education.Posted on Google![]()
