I CAN® Online PROGRAMS

I CAN Online Programs provide interest-driven sessions for autistic and neurodivergent young people aged 7-22 during the holiday periods. When the school term ends for most Australian States, our unique schedule of Online Programs begins and runs over the holiday window, with intakes for each program available in April, July, September, and January. The programs on offer change each break period, offering sessions that vary in length and style but share one thing in common: they’re built around the interests that light our community up. From two-day General Special Interest Programs to three-day Minecraft or Dungeons & Dragons Adventures with plenty of General Interest Groups like Animal Crossing in between – every program is designed to let participants dive deep into an interest, connect authentically and have a structured time where they can truly be themselves.

Whatever Program you choose, trained autistic mentors are by your young person’s side every step of the way. Setting the tone, celebrating strengths and ensuring a space where no one ever has to mask or apologise for who they are.

Every program has its own schedule, session length and fee so families can choose the format that best fits their plans.

Why Families Love Online Programs

Structure with zero travel: Online Programs give the break some predictable rhythm without the stress of commuting.
Authentic connection: Mentees meet peers who share (and get) their passions – no pressure to mask.
Flexible formats: Pick a two-day mini Program, a multi-day campaign or a week-long program that fits in with plans.
Autistic-led mentoring: Every room is guided by trained autistic mentors who champion strengths and true self-expression.

Because our Online Programs are an online mentoring service and not an allied-health or therapy service, invoices are issued at the conclusion of each Program and reference the relevant NDIS support item number (for more information, see Key Details). We cannot modify invoices or split payments, and invoices will be sent directly to nominated plan managers if these details are provided in the service agreement. Please speak with your plan manager or support coordinator for personalised NDIS advice.

JULY ONLINE PROGRAMS - HOW IT WORKS

JULY ONLINE PROGRAMS - CURRENT PROGRAMS

I CAN® Online Holiday Break Programs

A space to share what you love and learn from others!

In this fun and supportive online group, mentees get the chance to talk about their special interests whatever they may be! From video games to trains, mythology to music, sports stats to space facts – everyone’s passion is welcome.

Each session gives you a chance to show something cool related to your interest (like photos, drawings, collections, or just talking about it) and share why it matters to you. You’ll also get to learn about what other group members are into, building confidence, connection, and communication skills along the way.

This group celebrates individuality, encourages curiosity, and creates a safe space to be yourself, exactly as you are.

All the player has to do is describe what they want to in a scenario and the DM will walk them through the rest, the more fun and creative ideas they have the better!

No extensive prior knowledge is required to join our intermediate D&D adventure, but a basic understanding of the rules is needed. The Program Facilitator, acting as the Dungeon Master (DM), will guide the game, ensuring a smooth and engaging experience. Players are encouraged to describe their actions in each scenario, utilising their creativity and strategic thinking to navigate challenges. While the DM will provide support and clarification as needed, participants should be familiar with core mechanics such as rolling dice, character abilities, and turn-based combat. The more inventive and tactical their ideas, the more exciting the adventure will be!
