Helping Children & Young People With Autism
Also Helping Any Young Person Who Wants To Grow Their Social Skills
Does your family face these challenges?
- Does your young person struggle to make friends, feel ignored by others at school and miss out on invitations to parties?
- Does your family have to deal with tantrums, outbursts and anxious dramas when your child doesn't get their way?
- Is your child likely to throw a tantrum at home or school because they don't know how to say what they need?
- Does your teen get too close, too loud around others or find themselves in socially awkward moments that make it hard to keep friends?
- Do you often feel stressed out, overwhelmed and like a bit of a failure as a parent?
Autism, anxiety and other social factors can make life feel hard for your child and parents deserve some extra support. We're here to help children and parents. We run social skills training courses for children with Autism/ASD that have helped thousands of children all over the world.

I’m so glad we’ve found you!”

NDIS &
Funding
NDIS funding can be used if your family are self-managed or plan-managed.
AFTER SCHOOL SESSIONS
Don't miss out on school.
We've set things up so that your child doesn't have to miss out on school and you don't have to deal with midday appointments.
Instead, all sessions are at after-school times in the afternoons or evenings because your child needs routine.
We can help that just by scheduling sessions conveniently for you.
NO WAITING LISTS!
You hate waiting lists and so do we!
Your child needs to learn asap.
We have many, many groups and we would rather add more groups than have a waiting list.
Every week your child is not learning new skills is a wasted week.
We'll do everything we can so your child can start in our next course.

Australia-Wide Using Zoom
We help families from all around Australia. And with the help of Zoom, we can all meet with you at times convenient for your family.
Learn Face-To-Face Or At Home
Most of our courses can be done from home via Zoom rooms to create the interpersonal interactions that are normally achieved face-to-face. Using these virtual meetings, not even Covid shutdowns can shut down your child’s learning. ASD learning continues on Zoom, which is the way it should be.

Help For Children, Teens & Adults Autism
It can be tough to find help in Australia for your child/teen/young adult with Autism. The demand for support here is so much greater than what is available. ASD is something to get help for sooner than later. Long wait-times mean that your child’s peers move ahead socially, but your child can be left using the same skills that are not currently working for them. We do all we can to keep waiting times and waiting lists short for your child, because we know that the sooner your child starts learning new strategies, the sooner they can experience better social success.
AUTISM HELP IN CANBERRA
Secret Agent Society® (SAS) Course For Children With Autism
It’s no secret that Canberra needs more support for children who have ASD. The World-renowned Secret Agent Society training course can be a big help for children with who need a skills upgrade. The course covers ASD-relevant strategies including:
Strategies to help read social cues - things like eye contact, tone in others' voices and body language.
Improving self-talk strategies that enable your child to think realistically and optimistically.
Strategies To Help Your Child Build Friendships
When children don’t know how to maintain friendships or how to build relationships with their peers, it can really hurt their self-confidence and self-esteem. No parent wants to see their child lonely on the school playground. We teach skills and strategies that can help your child know how to interact well with their peers so that over time they can begin to build and maintain friendships.

Social Skills Can Be Learned. Don’t Give Up!
Your child with ASD may have difficulty reading social cues and find it tricky to interact with others. It’s also possible that other children feel slightly awkward when interacting with your child due to their unique ways of interacting with others. That’s where deliberate, well-planned training of specific social skills can make a huge difference for your child with Autism. The great news is that these skills can be taught to children. Remember, we help children in Canberra, and Australia-Wide.
