Using a strengths-based approach, Spectrum Space’s social groups connect young autistic people with others, providing opportunities for social interaction, engagement and fun. Designed for specific age ranges, the social groups currently operate in six strategic locations across metropolitan Perth and offer a regular program of events and activities for members. The goal is to improve self-determination so participants can be the decision maker in their lives.
Focusing on the individual interests of participants, the sessions aim to create a space to belong and be part of our community. The participants work on making choices and decisions, as well as solving problems, enabling social skills to be developed and used in a natural environment. Active involvement in decision making by all is encouraged and we welcome their input to expand our programs, develop content and connections that allow participants to flourish.
