Children's Wellbeing
The Child Development Institute is a nurturing early intervention and therapy centre for children with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder or Developmental Delay.
The CDI is committed to delivering positive outcomes for your child, whilst empowering parents through coaching and training, as well as training other professionals who support children with ASD. The overall aim being to create an inclusive world where all children can participate fully in their communities.
We have adopted the EARLY START DENVER MODEL, the first comprehensive, evidence-based intervention program specifically designed for toddlers and preschoolers with autism.
The CDI is a family owned business. We have first hand experience of raising a child with a cognitive disability. We understand every parent has hopes and dreams for their child, whilst experiencing the challenges and stressors in every day life. This is why the founders have the vision to help families, carers and professionals in similar circumstances.
Great Sleep! Optimal Health & Development! Focusing on WHY our little ones are Struggling. Support. Co-Regulation. No Sleep Training!
Dream Winks specialises in the root physical causes of Pediatric Sleep Issues (up to 8!).
Sleep is a biological function and like breathing should just work. When it isn’t working as biologically intended we find there are always physical causes. We recognise truly biologically normal sleep patterns and help families achieve optimal sleep, health and development. No Sleep Training! Settle however you like and see great sleep!
