What our sessions support
Each child’s needs are unique, so our sessions are designed to be flexible, targeted, and deeply supportive. Depending on the group and individual goals, sessions may include a focus on the following areas:
Executive Functioning Skills
Helping children strengthen flexible thinking, working memory, self-control, and perseverance — essential skills for daily life, learning, and transitions.
Social & Emotional Development
Building skills in turn-taking, play, friendship, conflict resolution, and emotional understanding. We support children in recognising, regulating, and expressing their emotions in ways that feel safe and manageable.
Cognitive & Independence Skills
Encouraging independent thinking and decision-making through structured and play-based activities. Focus areas may include following instructions, using logic, problem-solving, visual processing, and inference skills.
“I would not hesitate to recommend All About Autism to anyone wanting their child to achieve the goals you set... and to exceed them.”— Mother of son, 7
We support our participants by adopting a neuro-affirming approach. We focus on helping our participants to find their authentic selves and develop skills that align with their values. This can include:
Building self-esteem and promoting independence
Understanding the differences in social communication styles for different neurotypes and validating all
Developing self-advocacy skills
Identifying emotions and vocabulary to help develop self-awareness and other-awareness
Understanding supports and accommodations that are vital to success

Speech Pathology
Working 1:1 with our qualified speech pathologist, Jacinta children are gently supported to expand their communication skills in a way that feels safe and empowering.
Sessions are tailored to each child’s needs and goals, with a focus on real-world connection and meaningful progress. Whether it's using words, visuals, or AAC, we meet each child where they’re at — and build from there.
Counselling
Our neuro-affirming paediatric counselling service with Meg offers a safe and supportive environment for children aged 4–12. Sessions focus on emotional regulation, social skills, self-esteem, and coping strategies tailored to each child's unique needs.
Whether addressing school-related stress, anxiety, or self-identity, our experienced counsellor provides compassionate support to help children navigate their world with confidence.

When we have a vacancy in the program, you will be invited to an initial parent meeting to share your child’s journey, strengths and challenges. You will set parent goals that we can work on and we create a support plan.
The team will meet to allocate your child a spot in the group that suits their needs most.
Your child will be invited for 1:1 relationship building session at All About Autism with their new specialist to familiarise them with the environment. Children will receive a social story with photos of their specialist and the centre, and get a purple uniform shirt.
Your child starts at AAA and accesses a program that celebrates neurodiversity and supports your child to achieve their very best.

Children enrol for a 10 week program of support. Knowing what we do about autism, how important routine and structure is, trials are unfortunately not suitable for the model of All About Autism. It takes a number of steps to enrol a child, and create effective plans for them. We invest a lot into our participants to get them settled in the environment. We hope that by signing up for a 10 week program of support, we get enough time under our belt to really make some progress with your goals. A check in at Week 6 is always scheduled to see if parents wish to continue. Unless there are concerns, children can automatically re-enrol. We have been lucky enough to support some children through the whole of their primary years.
