Event description

During the upcoming school holiday period, Vision Australia is offering its individual intensives program across Victoria, designed to provide children and young people with the chance to focus on specific developmental areas outside of a school environment.

This program is ideal for children and young people needing extra support to develop verbal and nonverbal communication skills, social confidence, confidence in self-care activities, gross motor and fine motor skills, and self-advocacy, as well as school leavers preparing for independent living, further education, and employment. The structured intensive model ensures maximum impact for skill attainment and long-term success.

Each session is tailored to the individual, allowing your child to consolidate some of the skills they’ve learnt during the school term or learn new skills. The specialists available to your child include orthoptists, physiotherapist, speech pathologists, counsellor, early childhood specialist teachers and occupational therapists.

Our programs are NDIS-funded under ‘Capacity Building’, and those who are not NDIS participants can self-fund.

Program locations

If you do not see your region available here, you can still access the program via telehealth.

Funding options
