Finding the right support for your child can be overwhelming. Our early childhood intervention services in Doncaster are designed to make the first step feel simpler, with child-centred, professional guidance tailored to their needs.
At Solongo, we support children on the autism spectrum and those with developmental delays through evidence-based, play-based therapy. We take time to understand your child’s interests and needs, then shape support around them as they grow.
No two children learn or develop in the same way. That’s why we don’t start with a fixed program and expect your child to fit into it.
With our early childhood intervention services in Doncaster, your child helps set the pace. We build therapy around what engages them, where they’re already thriving, and where a little extra support could make everyday life easier. Their program adapts with them as their needs change.
Our early childhood intervention programs in Doncaster are highly accessible, grounded in evidence-based, play-focused support for young children with autism or developmental delays.
Depending on your child’s needs, their plan may include support with communication, social interaction, behaviour, play and school readiness. Our team reviews progress along the way and adjusts the approach to keep it relevant and supportive as your child develops.
Our services can be delivered in-clinic, at your own home or via telehealth, depending on what works best for your child and your routine. Aside from broader early childhood intervention support, we offer a range of targeted services, including:
The Early Start Denver Model is a structured, evidence-based approach for children with autism. Therapists work towards specific developmental goals in areas such as communication, social connection, and learning to support their development.
If you have questions about your child’s development, an autism assessment can help bring more clarity. Our team supports families throughout the process with clear communication and guidance on what to expect next.
Our team can help you understand NDIS early childhood intervention and how available funding may support your child’s therapy. We aim to make the process easier to navigate so you can stay focused on your child.
Through child-centred, play-based therapy, children can build skills in a setting that feels natural and engaging. Sessions follow your child’s interests and use play to support communication and build confidence.
Through our autism counselling, children can explore emotions, build practical coping strategies, and feel more confident in managing everyday experiences at home, at school, and beyond.
Our programs focused on social skills for children create opportunities to practise communication, turn-taking, play and connection in a supportive environment.
In our positive behaviour support programs in Melbourne, we look at what may be driving behaviours and work with families on practical strategies that support the child’s needs and everyday wellbeing.
Families come to Solongo for support that feels personal, collaborative and centred on their child. Our therapists work alongside parents and carers, sharing practical strategies and keeping you involved in the decisions that shape your child’s care.
That family-led approach is central to the early childhood intervention services that Doncaster families receive from our team. We want you to feel informed, supported and confident about each next step.
Starting therapy doesn’t have to mean having all the answers already. Reach out for a free initial consultation, and we’ll talk through your concerns, your child’s strengths and what support may be helpful.
From there, we can outline what their early childhood intervention program in Doncaster could look like. There’s no pressure, just a supportive conversation about where to begin.
We typically work with children from around 12 months to the start of school. If you’re unsure whether our support is suitable for your child, get in touch and we can talk through their individual needs and developmental stage.
Not necessarily. Families may be able to access support in clinic, at home, or via telehealth, depending on the service and what works best for your child.
Often, yes. Some services may be funded through an NDIS plan, and our team can help you understand the options available to your family.
No. You can reach out for support before a formal diagnosis is confirmed. If you have concerns about your child’s development, we can help you understand possible next steps.
Contact our team to arrange a free initial consultation. We’ll listen to your concerns, answer your questions and help you work out the most appropriate starting point for your child.

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![]()
