Empowering Neurodivergent Learners with Personalised Support

If your child is struggling to feel understood in a traditional school environment, you're not alone. Many families come to us feeling unheard or uncertain. Our role is to offer clarity, confidence, and a personalised plan — so your child can thrive, not just cope.

At Learning Linx, we understand that each autistic learner has unique strengths and challenges. Our educational therapy programs are tailored to meet these individual needs, fostering a supportive environment where students can thrive.

By combining therapeutic interventions with educational strategies, we aim to enhance learning outcomes and promote independence.

Our Approach: Evidence-Based and Individualised

Our educational therapy for autism includes:

Individualised Learning Plans: Developed based on comprehensive assessments to target specific goals.
Visual Supports: Utilising tools like visual schedules and social stories to aid understanding and routine.
Communication Development: Enhancing verbal and non-verbal communication skills through tailored strategies.
Social Skills Training: Facilitating peer interactions and relationship-building activities.
Executive Function Coaching: Improving skills such as planning, organisation, and self-regulation.

Our therapists collaborate closely with families, educators, and other professionals to ensure a cohesive support system for each learner.

We support NDIS participants under Capacity Building funding and are experienced in autism-specific frameworks such as SCERTS, PECS, and visual learning methodologies.

Executive Function Coaching for Autism

Executive function skills like self-regulation, working memory, and task initiation are often areas of difficulty for autistic learners. At Learning Linx, we incorporate executive function coaching into our therapy to build essential life and learning skills.

We support learners to:

Plan and organise tasks more independently
Build routines and manage transitions
Increase emotional regulation and impulse control
Stay focused and follow through on multi-step tasks

Our goal is to help autistic students move toward greater independence and self-confidence — at school, home, and beyond.
