“We are very grateful to have found a relatively small centre with consistent staff who genuinely love helping our son learn and laugh. He has built beautiful relationships with peers and staff members at AEIOU Sunshine Coast.”

– Claire
“We loved our time at AEIOU. The staff created a warm and loving environment that my son thrived in. Cannot speak highly enough of this centre and their staff.”

– Amber
“The best thing we ever done was enrolling our child into AEIOU Townsville. The only thing I regret is not doing it any sooner. All staff at this centre go above and beyond for every child and their families. I know my child is well looked after every day he is there. He has had so much positive progression since day 1. Every family I come across who has a child with autism and is 6 years and under I always have and always will recommend AEIOU Townsville.”

– Vina
“My family and I had a hard time finding the perfect daycare facilities to take care of our child and his needs but AEIOU Foundation, welcomed us with open arms and provides great service. We have seen a HUGE improvement in our sons learning and behavioural skills. Thank you to the dedicated and friendly staff that has made this journey easier.”

A place to belong

As a parent of a child with high support needs, we understand how challenging it can be to find a safe, accepting environment where your child can truly grow. When you enrol at AEIOU, you become part of a welcoming community where your child is understood, supported, and celebrated.

We’re here to help you navigate the key stages of your child’s development with a range of autism-specific supports.

Discover accessible autism supports

Our Group Early Intervention service provides opportunities for children aged 2–6 years to build communication, social, play, independence, and cognitive skills alongside their peers. Each child’s learning is guided by our experienced therapists within a supportive and structured environment.

Through our Therapy Services, families can access individualised, one-on-one sessions with our experienced Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, and Behaviour Analysts. This service is available for children aged 2–12 years, with supports for older children also available.

In partnership with the Queensland Government’s Specialist Disability Support in Schools (SDSS) program, our support extends beyond our centres. We work with schools to empower teachers to provide tailored, practical supports in the classroom for students who need it most. To learn more, visit our School Support Service page.
