School holiday social programs are ideal for participants who can be supported in small groups, with the option of 1:1 support if needed. We offer activities every day for the duration of the holidays, for Junior, Tween & Teen Groups.
As a rule of thumb, our programs run from 9am-3pm, with the exception of some extended days that require more time for transport between venues or activity time. These days are generally 9am-5pm.
Our programs offer a range of fun & interactive activities to cater for various interests. Activities will include trips out in the community, and centre based activities such as Art & Craft, Science/STEM, Sensory Activities, Cooking & Gaming. In addition, we offer a combination of locations including Melbourne City, Geelong, Surf Coast & Surrounds and include indoor and outdoor venues.
We keep our group sizes small so that we can offer a more individual program that is participant focused. Our intake process gathers information about each participant's interests and any dislikes, so that we can design our program so everyone will have something they enjoy doing rather than being forced into an activity that they don?t enjoy doing.
These programs are designed for NDIS participants and incorporate the goals and support needs of each participant into the group setting. We plan our programs to be low-demand while structured, with neurodiverse perspective incorporated to create a safe and enjoyable time for everyone. We always encourage suggestions, feedback and ideas as part of our participant led model, and endeavour to utilise these wherever possible.
Activities each day are subject to change according to weather and venue updates, any updates prior to booking confirmations will be distributed through social media & emails accordingly.
Changes to programs after booking confirmations have been received will be communicated directly to the affected participants through their preferred contact method.
AmAble does not pass on any activity costs to families for our programs.
