Stronger Families

A multi day/night program for the whole family, providing time to connect with others while your child builds social, recreational and communication skills.

A supportive family atmosphere

Practical and inclusive support in a rural environment, for the whole family.
Early Intervention Stronger Families runs for 3 nights and is for young children up to 7 years old and their families and aims to build essential developmental skills.
Stronger Families runs for five nights, with a focus on being in nature to build social, recreational and communication skills and is open to all ages.

Parent training

Parents receive autism training from behaviour support practitioners and management strategies which can be observed and practiced immediately. Parents are supported individually to learn effective ways to support their child, for example at mealtimes and during daily living routines.
We offer built-in follow up support to encourage the transfer of new strategies to the home.

Health and wellbeing

We ditch the screens and engage in simple activities for health and wellbeing. We love getting outdoors and enjoying nature.

Making connections

It is the community experience of our program that makes it so special. Families find immense value from the support of other families going through similar experiences. Autistic young people meet and support each other. Parents connect and have time together. Siblings enjoy their own program. Our Stronger Families program provides parents with much needed time, as children are supported by trained staff.

Activities

We offer a balanced schedule with relaxation, outdoor experiences, nature, art and craft, yoga, games, healthy foods and exercise.

“HUGE success!! Our son took part in everything – he tried everything and actually participated and engaged – it has felt almost miraculous to see him here – to see how safe he felt & perhaps the happiest I’ve ever seen him.“

“The education that we received was unbelievable. After parenting this child for 11 years and having no idea what was going on, I am now more aware of how my son thinks.”

“My husband and I have not had a real rest together since having our child. Our lives are a constant relay of taking turns looking after our children. We actually unwound on this camp knowing everything was sorted.”
