What is the Program about?
Whether you are autistic or exploring the possibility that you might be, the journey toward greater independence and wellbeing is empowering and we're here to help.
Our Autism Support and Life Planning Program is designed to help autistic individuals to build on their strengths, develop practical skills, and work towards personal goals with clarity and confidence.
Through a supportive and collaborative process, our experienced psychologists work with you to create a tailored plan that reflects your goals, interests, and individual needs.
This structured approach offers weekly guidance and strategies that promote independence, social connection, and emotional wellbeing for now and into the future.
Ongoing 30-minute review sessions are recommended to keep you on track.
How does it work?
Across three structured sessions, you and your psychologist will:
- Identify key areas where you would like more support or growth.
- Develop a customised program with exercises and tasks.
- Provide practical techniques to help you navigate challenges, increase wellbeing and meet your goals.
The four key areas are:
- Social Competence
- Communication
- Increased Independence
- Reduced Isolation
Some areas may be easier for you than others. This program identifies your specific needs and builds skills in areas where you need the most support.
What is included in the Program?
This is a structured program designed specifically for your current circumstances. It includes:
- Two screening tests to identify your areas of support
- Three 1-hour consultations with an Autism informed psychologist to take you through your structured program
