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 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 support and consultancy. This includes individual support to families and their support networks via regional trips, webinars and telephone consultancy. There is also a school holiday program where families come to Perth and connect with each other while program-development work is being undertaken with their children.

Support Coordination Support Coordinators specialise in supporting people with Autism and their families to navigate their choice of services and supports available. Support Coordinators have extensive knowledge of specialist and mainstream supports across Western Australia.
