NEW RESOURCES
We have just released some new free resources created in collaboration with the Department of Education. These videos, tips and a graphic novel were created by neurodivergent students and our I CAN team.
These resources offer practical tools for students, teachers/support staff and parents/carers in the areas of “Building Connections”, “Inclusive Practices and “Student Wellbeing” Our graphic novel “The Neurodivergent Students’ Guide to Starting High School” (pictured) is specifically for students transitioning from primary to high school.

OUR SOCIAL IMPACT
Our mentoring programs build a community around Autistic students which celebrates their individual strengths. The I CAN mentoring programs leverage the strengths and interests of Autistic students to build their confidence. Our results suggest our approach is working.
Our statistics also provide insight into the challenges autistic young people face in school and beyond, and highlight the importance of programs that improve autistic young people’s social connections and self-esteem.
