About us

We would like to introduce you to Au To Know, an online mentoring service specialising in autism and social anxiety. Au To Know provides technical instruction and skill building in areas relating to technology. We capitalise on our clients’ areas of interest to enhance motivation and commitment while building transferable and employable skills addressing their NDIS goals. Common topics include game development, digital art, and programming. Our team of enthusiastic and passionate mentors is ready to offer this unique service.

Outcomes we deliver include capacity building in various technology fields with a focus on developing a credible online portfolio of projects that demonstrate skill levels, and expose the learning progression, adding real value to the client’s resume and improving future employment opportunities. We also focus on a delivery philosophy that aims at lowering our client’s anxiety levels as this is when they will do their best work. We provide ongoing support to our mentors, participants and caregivers and submit detailed reports documenting progress towards identified NDIS goals.

We believe our service will be welcomed by people and families struggling with autism and social anxiety. These factors often lead to disconnection from peers and society in general. School attendance is often challenging and can exacerbate anxiety. Our mentoring service aims to provide opportunities to relieve these pressures which not only benefits the participant but usually delivers positive outcomes to the whole family.

What we offer

Our program consists of weekly 2 hour online sessions during school terms where you, the participant, work with one of our enthusiastic mentors with skills matched to your interests. What happens – you will then embark on a journey together with a focus on developing your employable skills in the digital technology arena. We do this by inviting you to collaborate on real projects or by generating something applicable to the real world from your own ideas.

You will be the driver of your own projects working alongside your mentor who will work as an enabler and collaborator. This journey may be slow and winding, but it will be fun, engaging and productive. Along the way a portfolio of projects will be developed showcasing your skills and areas of expertise. All this takes time so, at AU TO KNOW, we focus on fun in the moment and let the progress and benefits reveal themselves in their own time.

Reporting

Digital portfolios will provide concrete data for thorough NDIS reporting as well as addressing more general employable skills such as critical thinking, collaboration and communication. We will report on the challenges that have been overcome, milestones that have been reached and project goals achieved.

Other Benefits

Parents and carers who have engaged in our service have reported a range of improvements in participants including general attitude, school participation and self-esteem. These don’t always happen quickly, but our aim is to provide a safe and stimulating environment for these changes to develop and for you to bloom.

Our Team

We have a team of mentors who have first hand experience in the world of digital technology. We carefully match our mentors with our clients and then allow them to collaborate together to build and develop projects that prepare our clients for work in their chosen area. Our mentors are passionate about technology and work with compassion and empathy with people with high social anxiety. Our team are trained and supported to provide a service that allows them to connect with the client and draw out the potential many of these young people possess.
