At the Centre for Autism Research and Education (CARE), we believe every child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) deserves the best possible start in life. Our independent school, registered with the Department of Education, is dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for learners aged 18 months to 18 years affected by ASD.

Raising a child with autism can be challenging, but at CARE, we are here to support both the child and the parent. Our comprehensive range of facilities, therapies, and resources are all conveniently located under one roof. This ensures parents and caregivers can easily access the support they need to foster their child’s development.

Our passionate team of experienced professionals is dedicated to delivering the highest quality care and education, tailored to meet the unique needs of each learner.  We are committed to promoting a positive and inclusive learning environment where learners can reach their full potential and thrive. Join us on this journey of hope and growth, and together, we can make a real difference in the lives of children with autism and their families.

Our Mission

At CARE, our mission is to create a nurturing sanctuary where every learner with autism feels valued, accepted, and empowered. Embracing the ethos of “different, not less,” we are dedicated to fostering a profound sense of belonging, ensuring that our community is not just a school or a therapy centre, but a true safe haven for growth and well-being.

The CARE Approach

The CARE team specialises in transdisciplinary assessments and diagnostic evaluations. We assess learners’ academic, developmental, behavioural and socio-emotional functioning to formulate an integrated programme that addresses the individual needs of each learner. By providing an accurate evaluation and diagnosis of the learner’s difficulties, we are able to deliver a superior educational and therapeutic intervention.

At CARE, every child is regarded as unique. With us, the happiness and wellbeing of each learner is of the utmost importance. We aim to attend to different aspects of each learner’s development by nourishing and developing them fully. We also provide a safe haven and stability for families; our care extends beyond the learner to ensuring that the whole family feels supported.
