Blue Sky is an innovative and unique service providing individualised programmes of therapy to young children aged from 6 months old who are experiencing developmental delays, including autism. We focus on using evidence based Naturalistic Developmental Behavioural Intervention (NDBI) approaches to support child development, including our own Play2Talk model alongside the well researched Pivotal Response Therapy (PRT), the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) and DIR Floortime. Children do not need a diagnosis to access our programmes and we can provide a range of support, from online parent coaching to low and high intensity home, centre and nursery/ school based therapy programmes. Our play based, well established approach has a positive impact on all aspects of a child's development. It is particularly effective in supporting children to learn to talk. Our recent premiere of A Film About Finding Your Voice features a number of children who have been accessing our programmes for the past few years:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqR9EpUHXZU https://www.blueskyautism.com How Does the Money Raised Benefit Blue Sky Autism?
