The Kidd Clinic is hosting an online group for clinically diagnosed, or self-identified, Autistic, AuDHD and PDAer women over the age of 18.
In our therapeutic work, we have noticed there are common areas in which those with Autism, ADHD, and/or a PDA profile are seeking support and guidance. We are passionate about providing a safe group space where people can learn from and support others with shared lived experience, and build connections and a sense of community.

Tuesday 3rd March (Autistic Identity)
Tuesday 10th March (Masking)

If you have NDIS funding, you will need to chat to your LAC or plan manager to ask if the group will be covered by your funding, everyone’s plan is different. We are not NDIA registered.
If you are plan-managed and would like to pay after the date of the group, you will need to obtain confirmation of available funds from your plan manager, and send it through to us at groups@kiddclinic.com.au in order to book in.
Because group programs and NDIS plans and their aims and structures are so broad, after many discussions with NDIS, they were unable to give us a specific code/s, we have been advised to not stick to a concrete line item number for this reason.
-
Due to the planning and resources needed to run groups, we require 7 business days notice if your circumstances change. Cancellations can affect the viability of the group, and they may not be able to run without the right number of attendees. If you cancel within 7 business days we will charge a cancellation fee (equal to the full cost of the group).

These sessions will be held online.
