Where It All Began
The Little Souls’ story starts in 1997 when Principal and Director of Therapy Robyn Hawkins’ son, Ben, was diagnosed with severe ASD at two years of age. After much research, Robyn came to realise that intensive early intervention was the only hope she had to enable her son to reach his full potential.
In Australia at that time behaviour based therapy was virtually unheard of, leaving her and her husband Richard with no other option than to initiate a program in their own home. Robyn approached her father, Graham Flint, about opening a centre. With his only motivation being the great pride he felt in his grandson’s achievement and a genuine desire to provide other children with the same opportunities Graham committed to the development of Little Souls Taking Big Steps. Fast forward 10 years and Little souls opened its doors for the first time in March of 2007 and has been supporting families ever since.
