Dr. Bronwyn Sutton opened B.E.ST. Autism in 2002 and gave Brisbane a centre of excellence for autism therapy. Our experience means that you can trust us to have the knowledge, expertise, and resources to provide therapy of the highest quality.
We know the services in Brisbane well, so we can guide you through the maze of early intervention and schooling options.
The B.E.ST. Autism Therapy difference
More than just therapy
We know our role is so much more than just providing therapy. We understand the stress and confusion of trying to juggle therapies, funding, and life. We have designed our therapeutic approach to reduce stress for your child and family. Instead, we enter their world to understand their strengths and challenges. We support your child and family every step of the way.
Neurodiversity affirming practice
Advocating inclusion and self-determination
As neurodiversity affirming professionals, we focus on authentically supporting your child rather than insisting that they act in a neurotypical way.
We embrace your child’s individuality and respect their unique way of thinking, interacting, and understanding the world. We know that pressure to conform to neurotypical ideals leads children to hide their true self and leads to “masking”.
Masking, where children hide their differences and try to fit in, is not healthy for children. Rather than focusing on “behaviour” we identify and solve current and future problems for your child.
