• We also invite you to add your name to the AV mailing list for coaching to be notified of upcoming coaching opportunities.

Eligibility criteria

• Coaching participants must be aged 18 or older.

• We welcome applications from individuals with Aspergers, autistic individuals, and those with other similar neurodivergent profiles.

• The application must be completed by the person who will be participating in the coaching program. 
  Note for parents, carers, and support workers: if you know someone who may be interested in coaching, you are welcome to share information about coaching with them, however we do ask that this application form is completed by the applicant themselves.
