Autism Early Intervention and Behaviour Support for Children
Eureka Learning Centre provides autism early intervention and behaviour support for young children and their families through our Bella Vista and Liverpool centres, with remote support options available for families across Australia.
Families come to us for behaviour support, behaviour therapy, parent training, group sessions, school and daycare support, and practical guidance that can be used in everyday life. Our services are personalised around each child’s needs, family priorities and agreed support goals.
As an NDIS-registered provider, Eureka Learning Centre helps families understand the available services and take the next step with clear, respectful and family-centred support.
What Is Autism Early Intervention?
Autism early intervention is support provided during the early years to help an autistic child build skills and participate more confidently in everyday activities. Depending on the child’s individual needs, support may focus on communication, play, social participation, emotional regulation, routines, independence or behaviour.
Good early intervention should be individualised, involve families, use clear goals and review progress over time. It should also respect the child’s strengths, needs and way of communicating.

Our difference
If you are concerned about your child, there are free simple screening tools online such as https://www.autismspeaks.org/screen-your-child. The screening tools can be subjective as they are based on your answers but will provide an indication of what you would be looking for and the result may recommend further assessment. Nonetheless, if you have concerns for your child we would recommend searching the NSW Sydney Children’s Hospital Network website to become better informed. Here is the link for Autism, here is the link for Autism.
Within New South Wales, the recommendation is to speak to your local doctor (GP) or child and family health nurse. They will refer you to the appropriate medical care provider if required. You may be able to access early intervention services to support your child while you wait for a diagnosis. By taking this pathway you can be assured of the correct care and be established within the system that will assist your progress to access services, should they be required.
