AUSWIM
AUSWIM is our 8 week program aimed at providing your child access to therapy services and support in an aquatic environment.
Specifically designed for children with a diagnosis of Autism (or seeking) who require support with water safety and awareness, gross motor skills, and cardiovascular fitness. Our Rocky Bay therapists uses a multi-disciplinary approach for this program to support your child in achieving their goals one-on-one. We’ll work with you to find a nearby public pool and agree on a start date together.
Program Structure
- 1 initial consult meeting with your family to introduce the therapy team and to create your child’s goals for the program
- 1 initial assessment completed by a physiotherapist and another discipline (occupational or speech therapist, depending on your child’s requirements)
- 8 sessions delivered at the chosen public swimming pool
- A summary report completed by your therapy team
Please note parents must attend all sessions with their child.
FAQ
This program is aimed at children aged 4 to 13 years old, with (or seeking) an Autism diagnosis.
The program is paid for using the Capacity Building budget from your child’s NDIS plan. You will be required to pay for any relevant entrance fees at the swimming pool.
Our team will endeavour to accommodate your family by accessing a public pool local to you.
You can access services if you have an NDIS plan, Disability Services Commission funding or if you want to fund your own services. We can also support you through the planning process if you do not have a plan already. NDIS funding is used through Improved Daily Living Skills (15 codes).
