The ASD Program

The ASD program is uniquely-tailored for all children between ages 5-12 years to develop social and emotional skills.

About Our Program

The ASD program focuses on offering emotional intelligence education and social skill development for all brains in Western Adelaide.

We can implement the program within your home environments, school settings and on planned experiences. Wherever you may need us, we come to you!

Our practices are based upon using discrete intentional teaching methods which can be affective for engaging reluctant learners.

Our Services

Planned Experiences

In addition to the program we offer an opportunity for children to participate in real life social planned experiences. The objective is for staff to observe the child’s ongoing development, achievement or possible regression since implementing the program.

This allows professional reflection within the program and it’s success, which gives us a true and accurate insight on how the child is interacting socially and emotionally and leads to creating individualised goals for the child’s progress throughout the program.

ASD Support and Education’s program is designed to ensure the child receives the best possible opportunity to succeed and strive while also being able to observe real results in development through planned experiences. Our program is uniquely developed towards each child’s individual needs.

If you feel your child may need support in their social skills and/or emotional development, please contact us.
