Everything you need to know

Empower Autism provides Life Skills programs for young autistic people aged 15 to 25 years. These programs have been developed by autistic people, for autistic people, and are delivered by an autistic trainer, in an autism-affirming environment. We currently deliver 3 programs, as follows: –

• Independence at Home – covering time management, goal setting, motivation, health, getting around and planning & budgeting.
• Independence in the Community – covering responsible citizenship, positive relationships and wellbeing.
• Employment Readiness – covering career planning, job applications, starting a new job and workplace adjustments.

For the first time over the school holiday period these programs are being offered as individual modules, in person or online commencing 9th January 2025. This will allow you to select the module/s that most interest you. Each module runs between 2 hours and 3 hours, will be charged per module and may be claimable under NDIS plans. Participant numbers will be kept low (less than 10 per session) to allow a better learning environment.  Each module is offered as a blended format with online participation for those that prefer not to be in a face to face environment.
