About

Hi Friends,
Welcome to my page. I run Autism STEP Australia, a unique Consultancy Services for Autistic and Neurodiverse Youth and Adults Families, teachers and Professionals.

I concentrate on looking at Transitions Post School being into tertiary education like TAFE and Uni, to other support services towards employment.
can provide Individual Transition Plans with you, link you up to supports, provide group and individual programs to assist Young People to make these transitions. The biggest issues people have expressed to me by the Young Adults is the anxiety of what’s going to happen next, where, how, orientation to environments and understanding the Hidden Curriculum. I support and address these. There are many young people who have issues that are restricting their access to services. I can look at these to see why (sensory, communication, meltdowns etc) and provide plans and strategies to help reduce the severity and occurrence of these.

The other side is ‘ the Professionals’. High School Teachers, TAFE teachers, Uni lecturers even psychologist have little training and understanding about practical strategies to assist Young Adults.

I can run workshops for groups tailored to your needs and times.
