Aspire were a great help to us when we needed it for our two autistic sons, they taught us ABA. During a level 3 autism diagnosis for our second son, the doctors informed us that we didn't realise how much help we were naturally giving our son using ABA by habit now. Combined with diet and other treatments, his diagnosis is currently half of what it was by the ATEC measure.
Dianne and Liz deserve way more credit than what has been posted. How are they supposed to help anyone else if they have this constant barrage of online attacks discouraging them? Aspire are a professional ABA organisation that has copped it online so badly that I don't know how they deal with it. These negative reviews about funding are actually what we have experienced EVERYWHERE! WITH EVERY SERVICE PROVIDER! All they all want to know, is how much funding you have available and with some really poor services to top it off, unlike Aspire. The fact that people have shed light on it specifically at Aspire, makes parents look for it and jump on the band wagon too, missing the opportunity to focus on learning ABA effectively with Aspire to help their kid, instead focusing on attacking the few people in Sydney that are actually capable of helping your kid!
There are some really poor services out there in Sydney, but this is definitely not one of them!
The people here are very rude.
Aspire Early Intervention is an amazing place! The knowledgeable and friendly staff welcomed me and pushed me to be an excellent practitioner. The environment was both supportive and challenging. Dianne has high expectations for her staff. She ensures that the right therapists are paired properly on program teams to meet the needs of each family. Although this company continues to grow, I like how they maintain a personal touch. I reference their work as a standard for this industry. I know that I am a better therapist from having the opportunity to work there.
EDIT: As mentioned in another review I now work for Aspire. When I posted this review I was working at another centre in Melbourne. After completing training at Aspire I was so impressed I moved from Melbourne to Sydney specifically to work for Dianne and Aspire.
While this review now certainly contains a conflict of interest I will be keeping the review online for transparency, and also as my comments are still reflect my thoughts before I came to work here.
Dianne and her staff at Aspire Early Intervention provide some of the highest quality ABA therapy in Australia. They provide experience, comprehensive, and best practice therapy to help children reach their full potential.
As an ABA Therapist working at another centre, I have done training with Aspire and Dianne, and can vouch first hand for their technical expertise, high quality therapy, and the wonderful staff that work one on one with the children.
Reading another review here saying that Dianne is only after funding money is shocking and bewildering. This 100% does not match with my interactions with her. I have witnessed Dianne passionately battle for families, talk at great length about the impact ABA can have on children and adults, and can confidently say that she is one of the leaders for increasing the quality of ABA in Australia.
My daughter started at aspire a little over than a year ago. She was no verbal and had no eye contact. She was two and half years old and developmentally she was the a 6 to 9 month old level. I had tried the traditional therapies speech and o/t for 6 months prior to starting at aspire with no success. One year on and my daughter is now verbal and maintains eye contact. She will be attending mainstream preschool in the new year. As I write this and think about where my daughter was last year and where she is now I have tears in eyes because of my wonderful dedicated team they have brought my daughter back to us. I believe in order to succeed at what you do you need to love what you do and Dianne, Shelby, Peter, Banu and Jacob prove that to me everyday. At aspire you are family not just a number or pay check. My family and I are forever great full to everyone at aspire.
