What is autism inclusion support?
Empower your child to thrive in their learning environment.
Autism inclusion support is a tailored therapeutic service provided by our team of highly skilled allied health professionals designed to empower autistic children aged 5–18 within their school or learning environment.
We focus on creating effective strategies and imparting essential skills to help your child thrive in their learning environment, whether they are in an educational setting or at home.
Our Autism Inclusion Practitioners work closely with your child, involving their support team, which may include family members, educational staff, and other professionals.
Our 90-minute support sessions are tailored to meet your child’s specific needs and can be delivered at home or in school.

Our practitioners use a strengths-based, person-centred approach to help improve outcomes for students on the autism spectrum in all types of educational settings.
