Life Skills is a flexible, neuro-affirming program which aims to empower Autistic people with real world skills and strategies to navigate every day life with ease and confidence. Modules cover a range of topics and are designed by Autistic people, for Autistic people, to empower you to strengthen your skillsets in ways that feel authentic and effective to you.
Program Schedule
Life Skills is broken into thirteen short and digestible modules across various topics, which run throughout the year.

Life Skills modules run at various times throughout the year, depending on community interest. Most module runs for 1.5-2hrs, with a short break in the middle. Some modules are longer and are therefore split across 2 sessions. Currently these sessions occur at 5:30pm, every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month. Alternate times are also available during school holidays.
You can join modules in person at our Stafford office, or online via Zoom. We aim to make this experience as welcoming as possible, and supply various sensory tools such as weighted blankets, fidgets and ear defenders at our in person session.
The cost of a Life Skills module is between $125-175, depending on the module. If you have an NDIS plan, modules may also be covered through this.
