Programs & Services
"We offer a wide range of services listed below. If you require something that is not on our list, feel free to inquire, as we may be able to connect you with a trusted provider who can assist."
Understanding the supports that are available
Knowing what supports are available for undiagnosed and diagnosed people can be difficult. It's helpful to know when weighing up the pros and cons of diagnosis.
We can explain what supports are available and how you can utilise them. If you need a person to communicate with agencies, we can also assist with that.
​
Other things we do:
-
Working with you one on one to work out your individual needs and supports
-
Writing plans for support workers, to explain in detail how to support the person they are with.

What does my autism diagnosis mean?
"We can assist you in understanding your unique traits, distinguishing between those related to autism, and finding ways to harness them in a positive manner. We understand that receiving a diagnosis can be a confusing experience, and we're here to provide one-on-one support and guidance to help you make sense of it all."
Individualised funding information/ NASC support
"If you receive support through NASC (Life links) and have been granted individualised funding, we're here to assist you in understanding how others have used this funding to achieve their goals within their Life Links plan. We've interacted with many individuals on the autism spectrum, each with their unique abilities, who have used this funding for various purposes. We can provide suggestions and guidance on how to request and express your needs effectively."
