Early Days Workshops

Early Days Workshops will no longer be available in 2023 since funding for this program finished on 31 December 2022.

Early Days was a federally funded program by the Department of Social Services (DSS) as part of the Helping Children with Autism package. The Early Days workshops were delivered across the country by several autism-specific providers and professionals. Aspect's qualified therapists delivered over 2,200 workshops to more than 11,000 parents and carers since the program began in 2011.

For more information about the closure of the program and other early childhood and school-aged support programs, such as Positive Partnerships, visit the DSS website. Alternatively, visit Ability First Australia - First Steps for disability-specific Early Days Workshops.
