View our four group options (Kids+, Teens+, Youth+ & Tabletop+) below:
Kids+ is developed mainly for children aged between five and 10 years old, who are on the autism spectrum, or who have general social difficulties, and are usually attending mainstream schooling.
Through games, activities and discussion, we assist children to develop their social and communication skills, increase independence, make friends and support them with emotional understanding and regulation.
Working in groups, we strive to offer a 1:4 staff-to-participant ratio to support your child.
The cost is $20 per session, however we do offer a 10-session concession card for $180.
Hamilton and Tauranga – Wednesdays : 4pm – 5.30pm
Parents/caregivers are welcome to stay for the first session, or until your child is settled in. We then encourage you to leave your child in our capable hands for the duration of the session.

Contact usYouth+ accommodates 16 – 25-year-olds with Asperger’s, autism or general social difficulties who are able to manage their own behaviours and have a reasonable level of independence and communication.
We work in groups to develop independence, extend social circles, build friendships, and gain a sense of belonging. Essential personal and life skills, such as effective communication, working with others, and increasing cooking and other independence skills are developed through activities, games and discussions.
We offer sessions designed to develop social and life skills within a safe environment, as well as spending time in the local community, visiting places such as restaurants, shops and game centres.

Contact usTabletop+ is for teenagers and young adults that are able to manage their own behaviours, have a reasonable level of independence and communication, and a basic level of literacy and numeracy skills.
We offer Dungeons and Dragons groups with dungeon masters. These dungeon masters are also facilitators experienced in supporting people with disabilities, autism, neurodiversity and general social difficulties. We aim to provide support to transfer the skills gained playing into real life and help those playing develop the confidence to access their own role-playing games within their local community.
Research is growing on the positive benefits with participating in role-playing games, such as developing an individual’s theory of mind, teamwork, cooperation skills, communication and problem-solving skills, to name a few.
The cost is $20 per session, however we do offer a 10-session concession card for $180.
Tabletop+ runs on both Tuesday and Wednesday evenings during term time. Please contact us for more information.

Contact usAt present our autism groups run with a shortfall of $15 per person/per session. Additional funding is required for these groups so they can remain at an affordable level for attendees and their families, and can continue to operate with small staffing ratios.
We are very grateful for any support from individuals, and organisations that may be able to help.
