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.

CASE STUDY - LEON
6 Months after SAS course
This is the first year since starting school (now in grade 3) that he has been able to make and maintain a close friendship.
He has finally found his “crew” in two other boys in his class.
Never before has he played consistently day in day out with the same kids for a whole semester.
Usually at the end of the year when the teacher asks the students to write down the names of 5 friends they’d like in their class next year he has no idea who to write, but he was so excited to tell me about a month ago “Mum, I already know who I’m going to write down at the end of the year and I can’t wait for school camp. I know exactly who I want in my cabin.”
He is so happy and so are we. He even built the confidence to join a local basketball team at the beginning of the year and made a stack of wonderful friends there too.
SAS has been a fantastic use of our NDIS funding and worth the investment.
You are changing lives!

Secret Agent Society
Learning Is Outrageously Fun
Content is taught in a way that is practical, well-sequenced, and at times, outrageously fun! New skills are practised with others using a variety of technology. What makes this course so special is that the secret agent theme helps your child take on the role of a detective to look for clues in how others speak and communicate.
Then, as secret agents, we use those clues to determine what others are trying to tell us and what they may be thinking. For example, your child can learn to use their ‘Detective’ skills to listen to the volume, speed and pitch of people’s voices during conversations. Then your child can interpret these clues to detect how the other person is feeling.
THE Process WORKS
Social & Life Skills Taught in an ASD-Friendly Way (Yay!)
Each session, your child learns a new social skill, broken down into simple steps.
Your child experiences new skills in a fun way
Your child practises new skills in a supported environment
Your child plays fun games to discover effective ways to apply their new skills
We help your child to try out these skills at home and at school for themselves
We collaborate with parents and teachers to create opportunities for the new skills to be used
