Emerge is coming to South Dublin
Emerge is expanding to Sandyford, South Dublin, with our new Dublin service planned to open in October/November 2026. Families can register their interest now.
Who We Are
-
Our groups are small, carefully matched and neuroaffirming, giving children the opportunity to build skills naturally alongside other children at a similar age and stage.
Some children may never need 1:1 support, but can still find larger group environments difficult to navigate (e.g. preschool, school, extracurricular activities) and need more support than those settings are designed to provide. This can leave families struggling to find something that truly fits their child’s needs. Emerge was created to help bridge that gap.
Sessions are practical, engaging and child-centred, with a focus on the situations children are actually navigating at home, in school and with their peers.
-
We support autistic and neurodivergent children from preschool age through to approaching puberty who may need extra support with things like change and transitions, emotional regulation, friendships, flexible thinking, confidence, losing, sharing or coping when things don’t go their way.
A formal diagnosis is not required to attend Emerge. If you feel your child is struggling in any of the areas we support, you are very welcome to get in touch.
We can meet with you and your child, talk through what you are noticing and help you figure out whether an Emerge group is the right fit and what the next steps might look like.
-
Families receive weekly feedback so you know what your child has been working on, what we are noticing within the group and how you can support those skills outside of Emerge.
Parents can also come back to us with anything that may be happening at home, in school or with peers. Where appropriate, we can incorporate these themes into your child’s sessions in a natural and sensitive way - without putting them on the spot or making them feel singled out.
This means sessions can stay relevant to what is actually happening in your child’s life, while giving them opportunities to explore and practise skills in a safe, supportive setting.
