Hi. I'm Monique Simpson, an Autism Specialist and Speech Pathologist who has been specialising in treating children with autism for over 11 years now.
During this time I have successfully treated hundreds of children diagnosed with ASD and Aspergers (ranging right across the spectrum) in my Sydney based program, Connect Therapy.
Whatever dreams and aspirations you have for your child I am sure you would love positive results in whichever treatment you choose.
It is of utmost importance to me that I help families to address the fundamental challenges that their child is having so that they can live happy and fulfilling lives. This is something that I'm sure everyone strives for in life.
Every child with autism is incredibly unique therefore we must work with their strengths and motivations to help them attain greater happiness and their full potential. I have helped many families achieve wonderful improvements in both their child's and family's life and I invite you to read feedback from just a few of them below.
"...by far the most informative and enlightning guidance
I have received to date!"
"The Autism Essential DVD Program is by far THE BEST, MOST INFORMATIVE and ENLIGHTENING collective of information and guidance that I have recieved to date!
I cannot express my gratude to you for giving and sharing this invaluable insight to understanding autism. Even though I am only half way through disc 6, please know that the knowlegde of persepective has been a wonderful thing.
To finally understand the way my child interperates the world and the way the world may impact on him, has really given me a better insight into the guidance and support that I can provide him in everyday life. I feel that I am able to approach and work with his therapists with a greater comprehension of his needs and not just trust blind faith.
Knowlegde is power! Now I don't feel so helpless, for this I thankyou."
"...finally we have the answers we have been
searching for."
"After watching 3 DVDs I have already noticed significant changes after implementing some of the strategies. I can't believe the wealth of knowledge you teach in each DVD.
Thank you for your program, it is a "God send." Thank you Connect Therapy, finally we have the answers we have been searching for."
"I highly reccommend the DVDs as an important background to understanding your child's development."
"As teachers and therapy practitioners we aim to find that "just right" challenge for the children we teach.
The Autism Essentials DVDs provide an important source of information for learning about the different stages that children must move through to achieve higher goals such as communication and language.
I highly reccommend the DVDs as an important background to understanding your child's development."
"...the dvd package is awesome."
"We are so looking forward to starting the home program with Connect; the DVD package is awesome - we are currently on DVD no. 4"
You can make a wonderful difference for your child and family
...starting today!
So what methods did I use to help these families achieve these wonderful results?

| Monique at work |
I have specialized in autism for the last 11 years and for the past 8 years I have run a clinic called Connect Therapy that specializes in treating children with autism as well as training and educating their parents.
From the 100's of clients I have have the priviledge to treat I have discovered the most simple and effective strategies and techniques you can use to help your child reach their full potential ...whatever that may be!
Of course not everyone is able to come to my practice in Sydney, Australia and clinical therapies can be very expensive. So to overcome this problem I decided to record all of my most effective techniques in a DVD series called the;
Autism Essentials™ DVD Training Program

| Kumaran (12yo) |
The DVD program only used to be available to families who did my In-home Connect Therapy program in Sydney. However we started to get a lot of other families interested in the DVD's that lived out of Sydney or did not have access to local professionals who specialised in autism.
...so we decided to make some changes to the DVD's so they could be made available to families living all over Australia and in other countries like the USA, India, Asia, Middle East, UK and all over the world.
"...I as a foreigner have no problem in following the progamme."
"I am Zehra from Pakistan thanks for sending me the Autism Essentials
Programme it is very intresting and easy to follow I have just gone through
DVD 1 & 2 your way of teaching is so perfect that I as a foreigner have
no problem in following the progamme."
More About Monique Simpson
I am sure you may like to know more about my background and experience in Autism…..
As mentioned above I have specialized in autism for the last 11 years and over the past 8 years have founded and directed a popular Sydney-based therapy clinic called Connect Therapy that specializes in treating children with autism as well as training and educating their parents.
Even though I am a speech pathologist, my clients say that I am more of a general ‘Autism Specialist’ because I am able to treat their children very holistically whilst still incorporating all of my speech pathology skills. I have worked and trained with a wide range of professionals throughout my career which has equipped me with these skills and experience.
My expertise and experience in autism has included...
- 11 years working solely treating children diagnosed with Autism (ASD).
- A degree in Speech Pathology from Sydney University.
- Consulting to a wide variety of programs including ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis), Autism Association schools, special needs and mainstream schools.
- Researching and trialing a range of different therapies both in the USA and Australia including Son Rise, RDI and Floortime (DIR).
- I have treated children across the entire autism spectrum, ranging from 20 months to 13 years of age.
- 3 years working at Giant Steps Sydney (a specialist school for children with autism).
- Specialising 100% in home and school based therapy. So I am very experienced at incorporating therapy into a child's everyday environment.
- Founding and developing Connect Therapy in 2002, a popular Sydney based speech and occupational therapy program.
- Helping to treat a number of children to the stage where they are no longer given the clinical diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
This means that the children are reassessed by their developmental pediatrician as no longer fitting the criteria for autism spectrum disorder. - My clinic has successfully treated hundreds of children with autism. The results of my clients speak for themselves and I am very proud of the work that we do with families.

Here are just a few more of the many happy families that have benefited from my methods over the years.
"Our life does not seem so uncertain thanks to Monique Simpson and her team."
"Our son Max was always different from the other children, but being first time parents we made many excuses for his odd behaviors, social skills and language.
Max was diagnosed with autism at 2 years and 4 months. We were recommended to Monique Simpson by the Autism Association of NSW and also the Diagnostic Center where Max was diagnosed.
We have been involved in Connect Therapy for over 2 years and our family have realized through this journey how empowering Connect Therapy is and the difference it has had on our family life.
Our son Max is now playing appropriately instead of lining toys, spinning wheels and running up and down our hallway. He is now asking us to play with him instead of wanting to watch television or be by himself. His language has improved from basically pointing to now speaking in full meaningful sentences.
Max now enjoys being with people especially peers and most importantly is a happy 4 year old child. He has been recently re-diagnosed and we have been recommended to send him to kindergarten next year... Our life does not seem so uncertain thanks to Monique Simpson and her team.
Monique’s extensive knowledge of autism and positive approach has empowered us to be confident as parents and to understand and believe in our child. I would recommend Connect Therapy wholeheartedly to any parent."
"...the most effective therapy we have encountered in 3 years."
"After our son Nicholas was diagnosed with autism we tried various therapies. While they were somewhat helpful no one thought to explain to us how we could understand and get the most from our relationship with our son.
It wasn't until we did Connect Therapy that we understood how autism effects Nicholas as an individual. We learnt to enjoy Nicholas more and learnt strategies to help Nicholas with issues that he faces each day.
We have seen his language and other skills develop with him enjoying the process. We would recommend Connect therapy to any parent who has an autistic child as the most effective therapy we have encountered in the 3 years we have been searching for help for our son."
"...the effect that this is having on my son, fills me with
hope and happiness."
"Monique's passion and excitement in the ideas she presents, and the effect that this is having on my son, fills me with hope and happiness.
In such a short time my little boy who was non-verbal, is now starting to imitate sounds and some words. I feel inspired and empowered by what I am learning...
Monique sees my son as an individual and is able to show me the ways and tools to help and encourage me with his development. Working with Monique and following her guidance gives me the confidence to try things and as a family we are overwhelmed at his progress in what is such a short time.
Monique is supportive and enthusiastic. Her passion is genuine and I feel an indescribable amount of gratitude at the impact she is having on our family. Monique's encouragement and ideas continue to give me the skills needed as my son's needs constantly change.
Thank you Connect Therapy, you have made an incredible difference to our lives."
Who is the Program Relevant for?
Because the program is designed to work with the individual charcteristics and behaviours of each child, it is not particularly important how old the child is, what degree of autism they have or when they were diagnosed.
The main thing to consider is the experience and training that the parents have had. The children who make the biggest improvements are those who's parents are able to identify where their child is breaking down in their development and are able to help them practically on a day to day basis. Once these fundamental skills have been learnt, great things are possible! This is where the program can really help.
The majority of families who have done the Autism Essentials Program typically have a child with autism between 2 and 10 years of age, ranging right across the spectrum from low functioning autism to high functioning diagnosis such as PDD-NOS, Autistic tendencies and Aspergers Syndrome.
Based on feedback we've received from familes
Those who would benefit most from the program are:
- Parents wanting to become more knowledgable and better trained so they can help direct their child’s treatment in a positive, lasting and life-changing way.
- Families living in countries or regions where there is limited access to treatment programs and specialist help.
- Families with a newly diagnosed child
- Families on long waiting lists who need an effective program they can access immediately.
- Parents interested in treatments that places a strong emphasis on parent training and incorporating practical therapy into their everyday lives.
- Parents who want a program that pulls together many pieces of the ‘autism puzzle’ in a fun and easy way, so they can spend their time and energy on their child rather than gathering information all the time.
**The program is also very relevant for professionals and organisations interested in learning how to work more effectively with children on the spectrum or who require practical resources for training staff.

Major Benefits of The Program
- Above all, the skills and knowledge you gain will give you incredible confidence and empower you to help your child like never before. Every interaction with your chld will become an amazing learning opportunity, which is the key to faster, effective results.
- It is a holistic program that incorporates both occupational and speech therapy principles and therapeutic strategies. Both of which are vital for building the fundamental areas of development.
- You will be able to actively contribute to the direction of your child's treatment and make confident decisions when working with your child's therapists, teachers and other health professionals.
- The program is individualised to the specific needs of your child. It is not a 'one-size-fits-all' approach.
- Each DVD is designed to raidly increase your knowledge of the unique sensory, emotional, thinking, learning and behavior patterns of your child.
- I show you how to include practical therapy into your day to day life that will really make a difference and get results.
- The lessons are incredibly informative, practical, fun and easy to follow.
- Because it's a home-based program the familiar surroundings provide the best learning environment and fewer distractions for your child to learn even faster.
- Without even realizing, you will be creating a powerful, respectful, fun and motivating learning environment for your child.
- You can access the information and carry out the techniques when it suits you, in your own home.
Additional benefits of the program
- The price is just a fraction of the cost of other programs and therapies. In fact, it's about what you'd pay for just 3 speech or occupational therapy sessions.
- You get the combination of the very best techniques of years of research and clinical experience all condensed into one package.
- If other treatments are needed later, then you will have laid the very best foundation for you and your child to get the greatest benefit from future treatments.
Before I go on to explain exactly what's in the Autism Essentials™ Program, there is one very crucial point I need to make.
No Matter What Therapy or Path You Choose for Your Child...
You will need to understand their
Individual Needs and the Unique Issues they face,
BEFORE you can confidently
decide on the right Treatment for them.
So many parents have expressed their disappointment to me in having spent $1,000's of dollars and years on treatments that made little or no difference.
This was often because;
- The treatments were chosen without a good understanding of the child's specific needs. Instead they were selected based on popularity or because of 'generalised' recommendations for children with autism.
- As a result, the treatments they had done were not well suited to address their child's unique challenges.
- The child did not enjoy the treatment! Simple but SO important.
- The programs did not focus on parent training, which left the parents powerless to direct their child's course of treatment and rely heavily on professionals to carry out day to day therapy.
- The programs did not take advantage of the child's natural strengths and motivations. They focussed mainly on the symptoms, not the person.
- It is difficult to find therapists and treatments that specialise in autism. So parents often relied heavily on professionals with only a limited or general understanding of autism, even though the parents often felt they knew what was best for their child.
You don't have to waste time and effort
with trial and error
The Autism Essentials DVD Training Program will help you really understand where your child is breaking down in development and empower you with the knowledge and skills to take an active role in their day to day therapy. It will put you in such a good position to make confident, well informed decisions about their course of treatment.

Then, if you need other therapies you will be so much better equipped to make the very best decisions for your child because you will know what they need.
I am passionate about always recommending the most appropriate and affordable therapies for the children I see, no matter what that might be. I am often referring my clients to other therapists or programs because I feel it's in the best interests of the child, BUT only after careful assessment of where the child is at.
I'll let Mary, one of my valued clients, share her experience
which may help explain this further...
"...your child will be able to get even more benefit from ABA and other programs than they otherwise would have."
"The program has assisted my 4 year old daughter's development whereby she now enjoys interacting with people and gives us lots of eye contact an I can see the emotion of joy in her face.
The program is very intense and detailed and has empowered me with strategies to assist my daughter with her difficulties with sensory processing. I am able to use the information gained whilst discussing my daughters progress, needs and future interventions with professionals and feel confident in doing so. I would recommend all families to do the Connect Therapy program before commencing an ABA or similar program.
It gives you the essential knowledge about exactly where your child is at to enable you to make the most relevant choice for his or her future treatment if you should need more. It also lays a brilliant foundation from which your child will be able to get even more benefit from ABA and other programs than they otherwise would have.
I found the key things about Connect Therapy that worked for us were the calming techniques e.g. the use of and electronic massager that my daughter uses everyday to help her self-regulate, keeps her calm, puts herself to sleep and keeps her functioning at her optimum level.
The main positive changes in our lives since we started is the connection I now have with my daughter. I get lots of hugs and kisses. My daughter is starting to imitate vocalize and initiate. I no longer feel helpless."
Your Child Is Unique, and Needs Their Very Own Program
Tailored To Their Specific Issues
Feedback from parents has told us that one of the most pleasing things about the program is that it is not a 'one size fits all' approach.
This is so important as I have found that programs that are too general or try to pigeon-hole children in one category or another have limited success.

How is the Program Personalised for your child?
At specific points in the DVDs I get you to 'pause' the lesson and carry out particular exercises in your training manual to assess your individual child in a range of developmental areas. I then go on to explain how you can treat each of these different challenges.
"The DVDs have been just wonderful."
"The DVDs have been just wonderful. They are packed with information that is easy to follow and understand. I have learnt so much from them."
"This program is the "first stop" for all ASD children"
"We are now armed with valuable and specific techniques relevant to our son. The dvds also demystified autism in a concise way that often books and internet articles fail to do. This program is the "first stop" for all ASD children. We have no hesitation in recommending this program for any child and their family."

Please don't worry if you don't understand some of the terms just yet, I explain all of them as you go through the program!

This is an important start to your journey with your child. It is essential that you first understand more about how a typical person senses, thinks and feels, the different learning styles and types of behaviour before you can begin to understand and help a more complicated individual like your child with autism. This DVD lays a brilliant foundation for having the greatest impact on your child's development. |
 |
Sense Part 1 looks at the way your child receives and processes information in order to get through his/her day, where they are breaking down and what you can do about it. It is so important to have a good understanding of your child's sensory processing because it is a crucial element to all learning. People with autism have difficulty interpretting the world around them, which is often related to challenges with sensory processing. If they are not processing the incoming 'sensory' information correctly they will misinterpret situations, making life very difficult for them.
|
 |
In Sense part 2 we explore what you can do at home to help your child process information and learn more effectively. I show you how to carry out particular activities with your child and work on their specific challenges. This DVD is very practical and there are loads of strategies that you can begin using immediately!
|
 |
Understanding and being able to manage your child's challenging emotions is incredibly important to help your child learn more effectively and enable them to lead a calm, happy and fulfilling life. The Feel DVD will teach you what is going on in your child's head when they are experiencing emotions such as stress, fear and anger and what you can do to help your child calm down as quickly and as effectively as possible.
|
 |
This DVD takes you inside your child's mind to work out what they are thinking, comparing their thought processing patterns with a typical child. Understanding these important differences is essential to helping you connect more effectively with your child because you have a greater appreciation of how he or she ticks. I take you through the different parts of the brain, using interesting teaching tools to help explain concepts like
...and much more. Don't worry if these terms don’t mean anything to you right now. I take time to explain each of them in simple and easy to follow language. This information in this DVD is critical to having a better understanding of your child or the clients that you treat.
|
 |
This DVD takes a practical look at ways of working on your child's language and communication development. It contains vital information that will assist your child's learning in these areas.
|
 |
Children with autism are often incredibly visual learners. In this DVD you will learn how you can maximize this strength so you can help your child learn concepts, communication, social skills, self help and many other skills in the fastest way possible. Learn Part 2 is a comprehensive 'how to' guide. It gives you a complete overview of the many visual strategies that you can use with your child such as social stories, scheduling, video modeling, picture sequences, comic strips etc. We actually go into the home of one of our families and show you how you can practically implement these techniques throughout your child's day. You will be able to get started with many of the ideas straight away.
|
 |
Knowing how to understand and manage your child's behavior is essential if you want your child to be as happy and relaxed as possible. The Behave DVD deals with the behavior of children with autism and gives you powerful tools and strategies that you can use to analyze and manage your child's different behaviors in the most effective and practical way. You will be empowered with the information to uncover what is really going on for your child when they are behaving in unusual ways.
|
You will also receive the Program Training Manual
Full of critical lessons and information about your child.
The manual is laid out clearly into chapters that correspond with each of the DVD's. The information is easy to understand and the exercises are motivating and fun. It will help you understand your child in a wide variety of developmental areas as well as taking a closer look at specific behavior and emotional issues.

PLUS... The GREAT thing about owning all this information on DVD is that apart from being able to watch it when and where you want (in the comfort of your own home!) you can press rewind and watch it over and over again, as many times as you need to help your child.
All the information will be right there at your finger tips for you to watch time and time again. Simply grab the disc with the information you need to review and skip through to the relevant chapter!
"...I can highly recommend this program."
"Having worked with children with an autism spectrum disorder for 17 years and having used the Autism Essentials™ In-Home DVD Training Program with parents, I can highly recommend this program.
The DVD package gives parents an opportunity to learn in-depth of how their child perceives and interprets their world as well as gaining access to numerous practical strategies to help their child.
The DVDs are explicit, clear and easy to understand although packed with information with the benefit that parents can watch them over and over.
The accompanying manual supports parents’ learning by including numerous activities to complete during the course of the program andenabling parents to individualise strategies for their own child. The DVD also allows parents to watch the DVDs attheir own pace.
I was able to experience the delight parents had at finally understandingwhy their child behaved as s/he did and being empowered to have the knowledge and skills tohelp their child connect with our world."
This is really critical information for you... as it lays the foundation for your child's development and for any other therapies you may wish to introduce later.
Anita, one of our Connect Therapy parents, told me the story of how she went along to see a doctor for an appointment. The doctor was so impressed by her knowledge of her son that she had gained from my methods and training and by how much she had taught him (the doctor) about autism that he did not charge her for the consultation!! True story!
Following this, Anita called me to thank me for the new found knowledge and confidence to make powerful decisions about her childs needs and course of treatment.

Autism Essentials - Audio #1 7 Steps to Unlocking your Child's Social Skills This 36 minute audio will reveal the 7 steps needed to help your child build amazing relationships with you and others. The reason children with autism find this so challenging is because often they have not learnt the necessary skills that typically develop in the first 12-18 months of life. It is these fundamental 'socialisation' skills that teach your child the joys of interacting and learning from others, which is critical to their development. Without going back and addressing these skills, a child with autism will continue to develop in a ‘disordered’ way. This audio will help create a great foundation for all future social skills training in your child’s life! |
|
Autism Essentials - Audio #2 How Can I Get My Child to Listen? This audio is just over 23 minutes long and addresses the frustrating aspect of your child not listening to you. While most parents would agree this aspect is not limited to children on the spectrum, it is almost always more prevalent in children with autism. I give you strategies that can greatly improve this area for you and your child.

Autism Essentials - Audio #3 This audio is 60 minutes long and will walk you through some simple things you can do right now to prepare your child for talking.

How Much Does the Program Cost?
Just in case you're relatively new to autism, I thought it might be helpful to put some things in perspective.
Speech and Occupational Therapy can cost around $100 to $200 per hour and can very easily accumulate to over $5,000 per year. Other popular programs can cost anything up to $20,000 per year which is a significant investment, particularly when you may not even be 100% certain that it is the best course of treatment for your child.
With the Autism Essentials DVD Training Program you will receive over 12 hours of specialist advice incorporating both speech and occupational therapy strategies, focusing on your child's specific needs. You can then watch it over and over again.
And the knowledge and skills you gain will also be a fabulous investment in your child's future, helping to reduce the costs of ongoing therapy and treatment for years to come.
The Complete Training Program is
only $395.00 (AUD).
The Complete Training Program Includes...
- The complete series of 8 step-by-step, powerful, educational DVD'sOver 10 hours of face-to-face therapy and training with some of the best information on autism available, that will greatly increase your understanding of your child and develop your skills.
- The 100+ page Program Training Manual full of valuable exercises and critical information about your child.
- The best therapy techniques and tips from 10 years of clinical experience and research, all in one package.
- The 3 Bonus Audios ($90.00 value) - 2 hours of Monique's best recommendations and advice on how to help improve your child's language, listening and social skills.
- Personal Email support from Monique for the duration of the program
So hopefully you can see that the program is good value for money when compared with other treatments.

"...she has made such amazing changes in the lives of children with ASD and their families."
"Having worked in association with Monique for more than 7 years now, it is easy for me to see how she has made such amazing changes in the lives of children with ASD and their families. Monique brings passion, dedication, experience and sound knowledge to Connect Therapy. She strongly believes in empowering families to gain the skills to communicate and understand their children holistically. In this way, families do not become dependent on therapists and are able to make differences to their child’s development every day.
She understands the importance of children having a balanced “sensory diet” to help them function optimally and regulate their behaviour. We love that she has such a good understanding of occupational therapy.
We find it easier to work with families who are involved in Connect Therapy as the parents have great knowledge and are confident communicating with their children. As a result the families help their children to develop their skills faster.
Monique is an innovative therapist and Connect Therapy is a great program for families."

More feedback from families who have benefited
from my therapy methods
"...it educates the family on all aspects of autism."
"One important aspect of Connect Therapy that our family found invaluable is that it educates the family on all aspects of autism. At the end of the program we knew what our son was going through physically, mentally and emotionally."
"...to say that it has changed our lives is an understatement."
"Our son Ethan was diagnosed at 3 years of age with autism. He had limited language, social skills and connection to his world. He felt great feelings of frustration and we were at a real loss as how to really help him at home.
Previous therapies were difficult as they were not carried out in a familiar environment and the style of therapy was basically not enjoyable or motivating for Ethan or any of the family. I am very grateful that Connect Therapy has been a part of our lives for almost 2 years and to say that it has changed our lives is an understatement.
Ethan is now five years old. Thanks to Connect Therapy he is now confident, happy and rarely frustrated. His language has improved enormously from single words to now participating in conversations. He has an enquiring mind and has formed great relationships with family and friends.
Connect Therapy has given us a powerful understanding of our son and we now know how to help him achieve his full potential."
"...we came out of Connect with so much more
than learning how to help Mack."
"When Toni and I received the diagnosis on Mack, it was quite devastating. We were recommended to Monique very early on in the process and we are so pleased that we were! The journey since then has been one of discovery, excitement, frustration, demand but most of all hope. At Connect Therapy we learnt so much about our little man but also about ourselves.
Whilst we didn't know what to expect and we didn't necessarily have goals, we came out of Connect with so much more than learning how to help Mack. We still have a mountain of work to complete with Mack but Monique and Emily have set us on the right track and whilst we still don't know what will happen in the future (who does) we are sure that this program has been a very positive influence on our long and exciting journey. I would be happy to discuss this with anyone should they wish"
"I can't thank you enough for the understanding I now have of my child..."
"I feel more confident now in myself to help Jimmy, whereas before I felt powerless. I learnt so much about Autism and I can't thank you enough for the understanding I now have of my child and how I can help him."
"The parent training empowered me and gave me back a sense of confidence and control..."
"Connect therapy has played a central role in the significant gains my autistic 3 year old has made... It targets core deficits in reciprocal social relationships and communication and is tailored specifically for the individual child’s needs. The parent training empowered me and gave me back a sense of confidence and control in the face of this overwhelming diagnosis."
"The progress that he has made since the onset of speech is remarkable"
"Connect Therapy is an empowering education in autism. It gave us the knowledge that all affected parents should have of why their autistic children behave the way they do...
To see Ethan playing and interacting with his sisters is one of the greatest joys we have experienced. Ethan did not speak until he was six years of age. The progress that he has made since the onset of speech is remarkable and is due to a significant degree to Monique Simpson and her Connect Therapy program."
"It will be the best gift you can give to your child."
"At the age of 3 our son, Luke, was diagnosed with autism. At the time, he said only a few words, he easily frustrated, tantrums were frequent, communication was difficult and he began to isolate himself from other children. We did not know how to reach him.
Shortly after Luke's diagnosis we were fortunately directed to Monique Simpson and her Connect Therapy program. We were attracted to Monique's extensive experience and unique style of therapy...
Connect Therapy has allowed us to take a step into Luke's world and he a step into ours. As a family we are living in a more harmonious world together-no longer separated. We are all very optimistic about the future and look forward to Luke's continued success.
If your child has recently been diagnosed with autism we can only say run, don't walk to Connect Therapy. It will be the best gift you can give to your child."
"The DVDs were an absolute god-send ...should be compulsory viewing for all parents of a newly diagnosed child"
"When our son Joseph was diagnosed with autism at 2, we tried to get him into various intervention programs but everything had lengthy waiting lists.
We were recommended to Connect Therapy and we immediately purchased the 'Autism Essentials' DVD series while on the waiting list for a home based program.
The DVDs were an absolute god-send. So much information presented in a clear and interesting manner and so much easier to understand than reading all about it in books.
The DVDs should be compulsory viewing for all parents of a newly diagnosed child.
We were able to start implementing strategies to help our son straight away and had a better understanding of why he behaved the way that he did.
The home based program was awesome. Monique and Emily are a fantastic team and had an instant connection with our son. We were overwhelmed by their enthusiasm and dedication and it is obvious that they love what they do and genuinely care about their clients."
