Therapy for Autism, Built Around Your Child
We don't use a one-size-fits-all script.
Our approach to autism is child-led and naturalistic — built around what genuinely motivates your child, not a fixed curriculum applied the same way to every case.
We see a high volume of children on the spectrum, across the full range — including many who started completely non-verbal. A number of them are now verbal, thriving, and keeping pace in mainstream or SPED classrooms.
Types of Therapy for Children with Autism
Parents are often flooded with claims about the "most effective" method. An autistic child's needs are diverse — there's no single approach that fits every case. Our advice: look for certified specialists in specific areas of need, not generalists who claim to do everything.
Speech and Language Therapy
01
A speech or language delay is often the first thing parents notice. Speech therapy isn't just sitting a child at a table to drill words — our therapists build the skills that let a child pick up language from their environment independently, starting with pre-verbal foundations like joint attention, play, and imitation.
Occupational Therapy
02
OT builds the skills for daily living — toileting, dressing, grooming — alongside fine and gross motor skills, attention, and sensory processing. For many autistic children, sensory regulation comes first: a child who doesn't feel comfortable in their own body struggles to attend and learn at all. Our speech and occupational therapists often work the same case together.
Early Intervention Programmes (EIP)
03
EIPs are group-based, school-like environments covering a wider range of development at once — toileting, academic skills, social communication — attended multiple times a week for routine and structure. At Dinosaur School, EIP is half-day, with ST and OT integrated directly into the programme. We take skills out into the community too — we don't believe a skill "counts" if it only works in one room.
Social Skills Training
04
Social interaction is often one of the hardest, longest-lasting challenges — for many, it persists into the teen years and adulthood. Our social skills groups build real practice interacting with peers, reading social cues, and engaging in group settings, run by certified Speech or Occupational Therapists trained specifically in social and pragmatic skill development.
Psychology
05
Behaviour that's hard to manage isn't something we ignore or wait out. Our psychologists work on the reasons behind the behaviour, not just the behaviour itself — building strategies parents and teachers can actually use day to day.
Educational Therapy & Group-Based Learning Support
06
This is the academic side — literacy, numeracy, handwriting, and the classroom skills that don't just fix themselves. Educational therapy is 1-to-1, working through a child's specific gaps directly with a therapist. Dino Squad is the group-based version — a similar kind of tailored support, delivered alongside other kids working on similar areas in a social environment.

Why Families Choose Us
One coordinated team
Your child's speech therapist, occupational therapist, and any other specialist involved work towards the same plans and objectives — sharing notes and goals, holding discussions together. Not working in silos.
Certified therapists
Our therapists are registered with AHPC (Allied Health Professions Council) and/or other relevant regulatory bodies such as RETA (Register of Educational Therapists Asia) and SPS (Singapore Psychological Society).
Naturalistic, child-led philosophy
We follow your child's own interests and motivation, building skills through play and real interaction — not a fixed script applied the same way to every case.
A real track record
We've supported many children who started with no functional speech and are now verbal, interactive and communicating — this is a profile we see often, not an exception.
