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’.
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.
We are proud to share our 2024-2025 Annual Report, which captures the most consequential period in I CAN’s history to date, including the launch of a four-year expansion plan to bring the I CAN School® program to 4,136 Autistic students across 254 Victorian government schools by the end of FY2027. The report captures the depth and breadth of our innovation and impact, particularly in the arenas of peer support, inclusive education, Autistic employment and authentic representation.
