PosAbilities. Strong Minds : Strong Futures provides youth on the autism spectrum a clear pathway to a life of independence, resilience and happiness!
PosAbilities supports youth on the autism spectrum by focusing on what they CAN do rather than what they cannot.
We believe that young people are not able to soar to greatness if they are consumed by deficits. The programs that we offer our ASD youth are designed to unlock their potential and provide the tools, skills and confidence to realise their goals.
PosAbilities. Strong Minds : Strong Futures is an NDIS provider and all of our programs are designed and delivered by highly qualified and experienced staff. Our aim is to provide a premium service in order to gain premium outcomes.
We work with NDIS clients and non-NDIS clients.
PosAbilities is a registered Not-For-Profit Charity
We are a Not-for-Profit Charity, and all our profits go straight back into the business of supporting young autistic people.
We are proud to be 100% committed to improving the lives of our autistic young people and to see them thrive to flourishing!
Our Programs
-
Positive Coaching
The program was devised based on Positive Psychology methods and research, focussing on what clients currently CAN do and build on that to maximise their potential, increasing skills in resilience, relationships and confidence, but also teaching them the elements of being happier.

10 Steps to Happiness
Scientific research has shown that there are things we all need in order to be happy. We have developed a program that incorporates these elements into an easy to remember model, relevant for youth and appropriate for those on the spectrum.

School Leaver Employment Support (SLES)

ASD Social Clubs
Young people with autism love to socialise!
The ASD Social Clubs are an opportunity to get together, meet new friends and have some fun with people who have the same interests.
"I can only give positive praise for Jo as a teacher for my son. She was supportive, understanding & nurturing for him as an individual. She allowed him to learn & be himself. This gave him the skills so that now he is working, driving & living his life to the fullest. Jo has given him skills that will stay with him his whole life. I highly recommend Jo for any child on the spectrum, her support & skills will only enhance your child’s life."

"I just wanted to say thank you for all the help and support that you have given Dylan. Without your continuous support and guidance, I’m sure Dylan wouldn’t be where he is today, as you go above and beyond to help these kids and I just want you to know you are so inspiring as the passion and enthusiasm you have to help my son and kids on the spectrum is just amazing. So, thank you so much!"
