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.

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.
