We Help Your Child Achieve Their Goals

We have different goals for each child. We set goals depending on your child's abilities, and for community members who are on NDIS, we set goals that match NDIS objectives and we match goals to your child's unique personality.

Your Son Participates On Zoom, From Home

At each time slot, we will have a mini-group of students working together, with our leaders helping and guiding team-work negotiations.

Each session we have a different topic that we work through together.

This is an online community for any child who is looking to build their social skills and social confidence.

For Kids/Teens Aged 8-15 (In mini-groups)

We have different session times, depending on your child's age group and interests.

We've deliberately designed these sessions so that your child can experience friendship, regardless of their age or ability.

Led By Experienced Autism Experts

That's because your child will work with two of our staff members who will make sure that everyone is using friendly voices and supporting each other.

NDIS-Compliant Pricing: $1550

Structured to be approved for NDIS self-managed or NDIS plan-managed families to make claiming NDIS easier.

(Families not on NDIS can also participate, funding themselves.)

NDIS Funding Categories

It is helpful to know that some other families have told us they usually use these categories (or similar):

a) Increased Social & Community Participation

b) Improved Daily Living                                           

Chat with your plan manager for what is relevant to your situation.

For plan-managed participants, your plan manager will be able to tell you whether your plan will cover this.

Many families are able to cover this without any out-of-pockets.
