Advantages

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.

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.

Location

Your lounge room, using zoom - No need to travel.

You don’t need to travel anywhere. It's easy to use Zoom from your lounge room.

Autism-friendly Leaders

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

How the process works:

Social & life skills taught in an ASD-friendly way (Yay!)

Each session, our young people with Autism learn a new social skill, broken down into simple steps.

Also, they experience new skills in a fun way.

And practice new skills in a supported environment.

Peace-Of-Mind Promise: What if my child needs to pull out?


Your child can:

  • Stop doing their course if they need to.
  • Switch to a different course if you need to.
  • Do ‘catch-up’ sessions for missed sessions.


You won't be billed for an entire course if your child needs to pull out.

Almost every time, our kids/teens find their groove and enjoy their sessions.

If your child needs tweaks, we can switch your child to a different mini-group, modify session times, or even pair them with a different leader.

We understand that sometimes life seriously happens… A death in the family, sudden health issues, parents going through a hard time etc etc. 

But rest assured, if it doesn't work out (and it will), you're only billed for the part of the course that your family participated in.
