Building on my years of experience providing support to families of children with autism, I started Autism Wise together with Jen Coles in 2017. We're passionate about empowering parents by providing information and practical advice about autism and the NDIS. We provide the crucial link for parents between diagnostic services and early intervention and support services. We do this through a membership model - providing monthly webinars, twice weekly online Q&A sessions, evidence-informed autism specific articles and online foundation and skill-based courses.
