Autism Association 2022 Annual Report

Additional Support

Professional Training and Development Our multidisciplinary teams provide training services to a range of professionals and other groups including teachers, allied health professionals, service providers, employers, and the broader community. We regularly host leading international training and professional development for researchers and practitioners in the field of Autism.

Regional Outreach We offer a range of services to families living in regional and remote areas through our regional support and consultancy. This includes Therapists providing individual support to families and their support networks via teletherapy, telephone and email consultation. Families also have the option to travel to Perth during school holidays to participate in our Intensive Holiday Program. When our Regional Therapy team is not travelling to various regional towns to provide training and support, webinars are provided to families and professionals alike.

Support Coordination The Autism Association’s Support Coordinators specialise in supporting people with Autism and their families to understand their NDIS plans and navigate the choice of services and supports available in their area. Support Coordinators have extensive knowledge of Autism-specific services and mainstream supports.
