Kids+ is developed mainly for autistic children aged between five and 10 years old, or children who have general social difficulties. Participants are usually attending mainstream schooling and must be able to toilet independently.

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.
$20 per session.

Our facilitators focus on increasing social and communication skills through activities, games and discussions.

This group is not suitable for non-verbal individuals or for those who require 1 on 1 support.
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.

This group is not suitable for non-verbal individuals or for those who require 1 on 1 support.
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.
$20 per session
Tabletop+ runs on both Tuesday and Wednesday evenings during term time. Please contact us for more information.

Enrich+ Lego Club is an evidenced based therapy where children develop skills through collaboration on group projects using Lego®, in an understanding and accepting environment.
Group members team up on building sets and free-style projects, while learning how to work together, communicate, problem-solve and share fun experiences through play.
Note – we will begin a trial of our new Lego Club in term 3, for select participants.
However from term 4, should the trial be successful, we will open up registrations for more spots.
