At Mind Project, we offer a collection of free ESDM-informed resources designed to support young children with autism and developmental differences. Developed within our Kogarah clinic, these worksheets provide practical, play-based activities that families can use to encourage communication, engagement, and early learning within everyday routines.
These resources are intended for general educational use and may be helpful alongside your child’s early intervention or support program. If you are seeking individualised guidance, we recommend consulting a suitably qualified professional.
