Helping Children with Autism
Packages.
You will be happy to know that
children approved by FaHCSIA can use up to $2100 per
financial year of their package towards therapeutic resources. This
is great news for those children who require equipment to develop
or acquire skills. As some equipment can be very expensive this is
another positive for families who may not otherwise afford such
items.
How do I know what equipment is
best for my child?
For those children currently using
any one of Autism
Action's Consortium Members then your therapist will recommend
what equipment is required to assist your child's on going therapy.
For children actively seeing therapist, recommendation will be
discussed in your child's therapy session.
For children not actively having
sessions, bookings are required. Please contact your
therapist directly to book a resources consultation session.
For children not using one of Autism
Action's Consortium Members then a one off resource
consultation session is required. For bookings, please
contact Autism Action learning Centre on 9899 7816 or e-mail.
Administration.
Autism Action loves working with your child and prefers to put
energy into delivery of services rather then trying to be a
wholesaler therapy/toy supplier. This means you have more
flexibility to use other suppliers, in turn you have a
broader supply of therapy equipment. As this requires extra
administration requirements to contact each supplier a 20 percent
administration fee will be added to the total cost of your
order.
When can I expect delivery?
When possible equipment will be
delivered directly to your door. Other wise items must be
collected from 'Autism Action Learning Centre' 44 Birdwood
St, Box hill South 3128. As each supplier has it's own delivery
times, orders can take any where between 3 days to 4 weeks
depending on stock.
Suppliers we recommend:
(Note: Look but do not buy! Please
print out a shopping cart list to show your therapist so they can
order for you under you child's funding)
We would love to hear your
recommendation of great suppliers, please forward link.
Please contact your therapist
directly or call Autism Action on 9899 7816, if you have any
further questions.
