Home - Neurominded

In 2020, Autism Inclusion was founded to build the capacity of Early Learning & Care services to support autistic children and their families. Over the years we continued to grow and expand our services, so to better reflect the diverse range of individuals and organisations we support, Autism Inclusion rebranded to Neurominded in December 2024. This new name embodied our mission and commitment to fostering inclusive communities where all neurodivergent people can thrive.

Our Sevices

We offer a range of capacity-building options to early childhood services, schools, and other organisations wanting to increase their knowledge, skills, and confidence to successfully include neurodivergent children and young people. Customised professional development is designed in collaboration with your leadership team to ensure the content, format, and structure align with the team’s training needs and desired learning outcomes.

In-house Workshops

Face-to-face training sessions can be delivered at your school, early learning service, or organisation during business hours or after hours.

Community Information Sessions

Presentations, workshops, or informal sessions for parents, carers or other community members wanting to learn more about one of our topics.

Coaching Sessions

Ongoing practical support and consultancy that provide opportunity to consolidate every team member’s capability to embed inclusive practices.

Mentoring Sessions

Opportunities to debrief and reflect on coaching or training sessions, and guide team members in planning actions to translate new knowledge into practice.

Visual Supports

Handy tools, templates, and visual aids are explored and modelled during coaching sessions, then customised and shared as part of comprehensive projects.

To promote sustainable learning and long-term outcomes, most Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) teams prefer more comprehensive training and development packages that include a personalised combination of the above services. When co-designing your capacity-building project, we consider the unique needs of your educators and the children in their care. Typically, these projects run across a few months and can be fully funded through the Inclusion Support Program (ISP).

Inclusion
Development Funding

The ISP provides Inclusion Development Funding to eligible ECEC services to address inclusion barriers by building educator capacity to care for children with additional needs. There are four separate streams of support available, with Innovative Solutions Support being one of the most powerful, but underutilised streams. Innovative Solutions Support provides funding for flexible and tailored solutions, such as Specialised Training & Advice, and Guided Practice projects. For more information about this government funding, talk to your local Inclusion Agency, or visit the IDFM website.

Our Approach

Our services are delivered in line with the 2023 National Guideline for supporting the learning, participation, and wellbeing of autistic children and their families in Australia. Our approach is neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed, and promotes child-centred, holistic, strengths-based and rights-based practices. Our methodology focuses on meeting children’s diverse needs to ensure meaningful engagement, participation and learning for all children. Our inclusion projects are designed to increase educator capacity to address barriers by implementing foundational supports and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Teams are also supported to identify the need and make personalised adjustments to support specific children and their families.

What our Clients Say

Gee has been an absolute pleasure to work with over the course of our training package. Her professionalism, knowledge, support and guidance has been incredible. I have learnt so much about inclusion, sensory processing, behaviour support and how to implement visual supports that I feel confident in sharing this with my fellow educators and our families. Thank you Gee for all your support

I found the information shared in this autism course very helpful. It gives educators the opportunity to share ideas, experiences, strategies and support ideas. We came together and could chat confidentially about children in the service to put together plans to offer support going ahead. I feel our team came away with more confidence and knowledge in the area of inclusion after engaging in these sessions

From the moment I met Gee, her caring and understanding nature was evident. Gee ensured she first understood our centre’s needs and concerns then provided two after-hours PD sessions through Innovative Solutions. The information and knowledge gained during these PD’s inspired us to arrange Gee to attend our service for a full day to see and experience the challenges we were facing and support us in implementing the new strategies she suggested. Gee also recommended realistic resources and changes for us to incorporate which have had a positive impact. She has realistic expectations that all children can achieve and succeed. I would encourage any Early Learning Centre to have Gee come and support them. Thank you Gee!

Thank you so much for your work with the EA’s yesterday. They absolutely loved the content and presentation. I have had quite a few say it was the best Neruominded PL they’ve ever had and that they felt like you actually listened to them

The content was perfect for us and Gee, our presenter, was absolutely fantastic. Her knowledge and presentation skills made this a very valuable and enjoyable professional development session

Gee’s information and delivery was absolutely amazing. She was always there to listen, offer support and guide each staff member through the situations

The whole process was great and I really learnt a lot. Reflecting on how far I’ve grown over the year has really made me realise how informative this was. After working with children with autism for 3 years prior, I’ve walked away with so much more that I wish I knew earlier

It was fantastic to be able to share what everyone goes though at their own individual centres and how improvements can be made

Gee is amazing, the whole team has learnt so much, and we have seen wonderful improvements within the centre

As a team I feel we did benefit from having our workshops spread out over the 6 months. It meant new knowledge could be implemented the following days/weeks.

Gee listened to each of our concerns and noticed what worked and didn’t work and assisted us with that so more teamwork and inclusion could become improved

Everything tied in together very well and it covered so many areas. I can’t pinpoint one exact thing that was great because all of it was linked so well. Gee was so great listening to our stories and provided feedback on whatever we talked about

The time spent on the floor with the educators was extremely valuable.

Good clear information helped educators really think about how children in their care may be feeling or how they can better support them

Thank you for presenting such an informative training session last night. I have spoken with several educators today and every one of them was so pleased they attended last night. Educators have been sharing with other educators who did not attend, lots of reflection has occurred, and many children’s names have sprung to mind for our educators. You will be in big demand as everyone want you to visit their rooms and discuss children they have some concerns about. The way the professional development sessions are building on information and the ability for our educators to have further mentoring and coaching is exciting everyone. This is such a wonderful learning experience for all of us
