Testimonials
“My little boy struggled with social skills and emotional outbursts. He started school in September and it broke my heart to see how upset he was on a daily basis. He was not coping. Tantrums and outbursts were a daily occurrence. Since starting at Emerge with Áine and Aoife he has transformed into a well adjusted young boy who enjoys school and now has lots of friends. They have given him the skills to play well, lose a game graciously, show empathy to others, congratulate other friends when they win and they have taught him how to cope during situations that trigger him or stress him. Emerge has been key to his development and he honestly loves the girls so much, they are gifted at what they do. I can’t recommend them enough. Also, my son doesn’t have a diagnosis yet, we are waiting on an assessment. I would suggest that if you have your concerns but don’t have a diagnosis, contact the girls as the assessment can take so long, the girls can be working away with your child in the meantime and as they say, early intervention is key..”

“My daughter has been going to these therapy sessions weekly and they have done her the world of good. She absolutely LOVES the two girls and they couldn't be more accommodating to her needs. She is having less movement breaks in school and has become so much more social with her peers learning how to share and take turns, even her speech has progressed massively from these sessions. I would 100% recommend this business to any parent, the girls are so friendly and always keep in contact with me about how she is getting on and what the next stage of their plan is for her. An excellent set up!!!”

“Our little girl Caragh was diagnosed with ASD in April and we had little to no support from any early intervention team. It wasn't until we came across Aine and Aoife in emerge intervention that we got such great support. Caragh started with the girls in September 2021 and we can honestly see a massive improvement in Caragh’s social skills, behavioural skills and she is so much happier in herself that she can express these emotions all thanks to Aine and Aoife in emerge intervention we would highly recommend emerge intervention to anyone seeking early interventions for their children. The girls are so professional and have great Passion for their work”

My little boy Alex was diagnosed ASD in February just gone 2022 but has been attending emerge since September 2021 he was put on the early intervention list and did not avail of any therapies as you can imagine I didn't know where to turn until I came across Aoife and Aine, upon meeting the girls I immediately knew it was the best thing for Alex, with covid restrictions and Alex not attending creche he had little to no contact with other kids he's age and I believe this affected he's behaviour but after the first few sessions with the girls the changes within Alex were remarkable he went from speaking very little words to now talking full sentences, because of this progress it dramatically changed Alex's way of communicating with us and therefore we saw amazing changes in he's behaviour and overall mood, he has become so social and loves interacting with the other kids , I cannot thank the girls enough for all they do and ye are the best part of Alex's week .

“I could not recommend Emerge Intervention enough for children on the spectrum. Aine and Aoife are compassionate and absolutely dedicated to what they do. They have a way of utilising their wealth of knowledge and skills, keeping things fun and interactive while working on areas that my son needs additional help with.
Emerge is a beautiful, bright, calming environment and my son loves it. It is a place where he is understood and has an opportunity to interact with children who have a similar diagnosis and interests to him, that he would otherwise not have the opportunity to meet. He just sees it as a fun place he gets to go to every week! It is a service that will of benefit to so many families in the area.”

“I cannot express how much Aine and Aoife have helped us through our son Cody’s diagnosis.These girls are amazing at what they do and the environment they have created for the kids is so calm and welcoming.The difference in our son is amazing in such a short space of time.We would have never been able to accomplish on our own. Their willingness to share their knowledge with us is so comforting that we don’t feel as lost as we were originally. We are humbled to have been recommended to go to the girls and look forward to our sons future developments with them.”

“I honestly couldn't speak more highly of Aoife and Aine. My son has a diagnosis of ASD and the support and encouragement that we receive is second to none. Their knowledge and experiences is amazing. Jackson absolutely adores both of the girls and loves going in. Since starting in emerge we have seen such an improved in his behaviour and transitions. Jackson's other therapists have all seen benefits too. We feel so so lucky to have stumbled across emerge, Aine and Aoife feel like our friends and like they genuinely care. It makes our journey so much easier.”

“My little boy has just completed three sessions/ 6 weeks each. From the moment we both met Aoife and Aine they were so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly. They wanted to get a huge insight into Luke’s little personality as well as his likes and dislikes. As a parent with a child on the spectrum, it’s so important that’s everyone communicates and has the same plan of action. I found the girls so helpful and their feedback from the sessions was so specific that it helped us, the school and other therapists as well. Our little boy gets so excited when he hears that we are “going playing with toys”. He meets and greets his little friends at the door and has a wonderful time playing and getting the support that he needs during play. All the pictures we receive are full of smiles and different games being played with Aine, Aoife and his friends. This is huge for our little boy who would have been an avoider of all this a few months ago. Aine, Aoife and the other children are like a second family to Luke and we are looking forward to continuously working side by side. Thanks for everything girls ye go above and beyond x”

“I could not recommend Aoife and Aine enough! They are just amazing at what they do! They are highly knowledgeable and always go above and beyond.
My daughter Amelia has been attending sessions with the girls for the last 3 months and the progress has been incredible. Every time Amelia sees the girls she runs towards them delighted. They had an immediate bond with her from the start and are always on hand to give great advise! Thank you so much for all you do girls!”
