Campus Life is a day program for young autistic adults (17 to 25 year olds) transitioning school students into the next phase of their lives. It is based at three TAFE campus locations where participants can mingle with their peers in the dining hall, café and seminar rooms. It is an adult learning environment with choices and lots of fun. The program generally involves speech therapy, an exercise class, and music therapy. Participants do a lecture quiz on current affairs and entertainment news, some Business or Arts studies, and passion projects. The curriculum is accessible, visual, engaging and suitable for adults with intellectual disability. There is de-sensitising space and support for augmented communication.

Campus Life Program

What is unique about this day program?
  • It is in an inclusive environment, where you would expect to find young adults – a tertiary campus.
  • It combines therapy, socialisation, and personalised learning.
  • It is targeted at school leavers and young adults who are neurodivergent.
  • The participants have a choice of tasks and activities.

Curriculum

Weekly Business or Arts Studies are based on key foundation concepts. These are highly modified, visual presentations with choices and simple activities. 
Current affairs and entertainment presentations and quizzes are delivered in a lecture theatre and answers are chosen from an app on their iPads. 
Passion projects are developed with each young adult base don their interests. They work on these with support workers.

Socialisation

One of the key features of inclusion is eating lunch with other students at the campus. The dining areas are well-used by students and represent a good opportunity to mingle.
​Participants eat at the café or bring lunch and eat in the dining area.
​​Afternoon games of UNO and puzzles are enjoyed together by the young adults. 

Therapy

The young adults experience group therapy every week:
  • music therapy (Groovin' Music + Evolve with Music Therapy)
  • an exercise program (Body Smart)
  • and a communication module (LG, Life's Great Speech Pathology - Logan location only)
These are invoiced separately and are claimable with NDIS funding packages.
There are also fortnightly art classes.

What Our Client's Are Saying

Annette

"My daughter started this program this year. I was impressed that they were able to individualise the program to her level of understanding. Her own trusted support worker is able to accompany her to help ease anxiety. Already I have seen her participating to her ability. I also am pleased with the updates provided on her day".
