School-age autism programme

Our school-age programme is strengths-based and neuro-affirming, focusing on building functional skills that support learning, communication, independence, emotional regulation, and participation in everyday activities.

Programmes are individualised to each child’s strengths, interests, and support needs, and are shaped around family and school goals. Using a one-to-one approach grounded in evidence-based practice and the science of learning, we focus on teaching practical, meaningful skills that can be used across settings.

Sessions are delivered by trained therapists, with assessment, programme design, and ongoing oversight provided by psychologists. Support can take place at home, at school, or in one of our specialist centres.

Our school-age programme is designed for families able to commit to a minimum of 4 hours of therapy per week, typically delivered in two-hour sessions.

What do we teach?

Each programme is individualised to meet the unique needs of your child and family. Here are some common skill areas we focus on:

  • Communication & self-advocacy

  • Social relationships

  • Self-help & personal care (e.g., dressing, toileting, sleep)

  • Community & safety skills

  • Adademic & executive functioning skills

  • Behaviours that challenge & emotional regulation

Our Process

Your child's psychologist completes a comprehensive assessment of your child’s learning and developmental needs.

Therapy sessions commence with your child’s therapist(s). These sesions are child-led and play-based. Typically sessions are 2 hours long.

Regular Review & Parent Coaching

We meet regularly for progess meetings and to adapt therapy goals as needed and provide parent coaching on how to imbed learning at home.
