A place where every child is truly seen
Juniper Tree Autism Services Preschool offers numerous advantages for children with autism, providing a structured environment where they can develop essential social and communication skills.
Early childhood education encourages interaction with peers, which helps children learn how to navigate group settings and build friendships. Additionally, we employ specialised teaching strategies tailored to individual needs, fostering cognitive development and enhancing self-confidence.
Access to skilled educators and therapists within our preschool can also support children in managing sensory sensitivities and improving adaptive behaviours.
Participation in routine activities and play further aids in developing motor skills and emotional regulation, laying a strong foundation for future learning and independence.
Sarah Mulligan is the founder and Managing Director of Juniper Tree Autism Services. A graduate of NUI Galway and currently undertaking a Doctorate in Psychology at UCD, she brings years of hands-on experience as a Senior ABA Tutor and Parent Support Coordinator — working directly with children and training families across the Midlands.
She built the service she always knew families deserved.
Real support that makes a difference
Getting to Know Your Child
We start with a friendly, in-depth conversation and observation — getting a real picture of your child's world before anything else.
One-to-One Therapy
Personalised sessions built around your child's goals, delivered by a therapist who genuinely gets to know them.
Making Friends
Small, friendly groups where children with autism can practise social skills in a relaxed, supportive setting.
Support for Families
Simple, practical guidance to help you feel confident supporting your child's growth at home and in everyday life.
A space built for children to flourish
Where a child feels safe and happy, they grow. Our spaces are designed to feel less like a clinic and more like a place your child genuinely wants to be.

Calm & Welcoming
Our spaces are designed so children feel at ease from the moment they arrive — not overwhelmed or anxious.
Familiar Routines
We keep things consistent and predictable, which helps children feel safe enough to try new things.
Learning Through Play
Sessions are built around activities children actually enjoy — because the best learning happens when kids are happy.
