On 9 October 2025 I CAN will be running Australia’s biggest autistic youth event: the I CAN Expo. Hosted at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, this event gives autistic youth a platform through which they can connect with peers and network with potential employers. Some attendees also choose to deliver ‘I CAN Talks’ in which they share their stories (see Daniel’s talk below). You can also just attend to soak up the really positive autistic culture. The event is open to the public, and tickets are now available.
I CAN ONLINE
Our autistic-led online group mentoring programs provide Autistic and neurodivergent young people aged 6-22 yrs with a safe, supportive space to connect, share interests and discuss common experiences.
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.

I CAN SCHOOL®
We offer weekly one hour group mentoring sessions for up to 16 autistic students in both primary and secondary schools. Our primary school program I CAN Imagination Club® is a non-autism specific program which engages a broad range of students aged 9-12 who have ‘big imaginations’.
I CAN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
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.
