Our programs

Individual, supervised, professional

 

Autism is an individual journey, and so is our support.

 

Light Up Autism Foundation has been helping students with autism and their families in mainstream schools on the Mornington Peninsula since 2013.  Our customised approach and methods improve each student’s social and learning skills, supporting them on their school journey with communication, attention and motivation.

The Light Up Autism Foundation has made it possible for my son William to have ABA therapy at school.  After his time spent in the program, William has become a confident reader and his maths skills have improved unbelievably. The change I notice the most is his confidence – now William will have a go at anything – the program has helped him to be more sure of himself.

Thank you to the amazing people who take the time out for not only my son William but the other children as well, without your time and support Will would still be the boy in the corner chewing his fingernails. – Jasmine Locke
