INTENSIVE PROGRAMS

The content, format and duration of intensive programs are flexible and able to be tailored to the needs of a specific individual with ASD.
These programs are available in Brisbane and regional Queensland in a variety of settings (eg. home, school, respite home, Autism Queensland’s therapy and educational centre, etc).
While the focus of an intensive program is governed by the individual needs of the person with ASD, from our experience the common issues addressed include:

• Behavioural Issues
• School Success
• Sensory Processing Issues
• Fine & Gross Motor Skills
• Friendships
• Organisation and Self Care
• Communication
• Leisure and Play Skills
• Understanding the ASD Diagnosis

Each program will be developed in consultation with the person requesting the program. Costs are reflective of the program format (including associated travel costs). Please note there will be an additional $70.00 processing fee for individuals not formally registered with Autism Queensland.
