Description

Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) is a not-for-profit organisation committed to helping people on the autism spectrum achieve their potential. Aspect builds confidence and capacity with people on the autism spectrum, their families and their communities.
Being on the autism spectrum is life-long. People may experience difficulties with social interaction, impaired communication, restricted and repetitive interests and behaviours and sensory sensitivities. The word 'spectrum' is used because the range and severity of the challenges people face can vary widely. Intervention, understanding and support provide the best opportunities for many people with autism to lead productive lives.

Aspect operates a variety of services in NSW, ACT and Victoria including:
• diagnostic assessments
• early intervention programs
• a network of autism specific schools and satellite classes
• behavioural intervention
• educational outreach
• community participation
• a parent support network
• family and information services
• parent education and professional development workshops
