Adelaide, SA – Families across South Australia will soon have access to the state’s first autism-specific distance education program. Aspect Treetop School has announced the launch of its Aspect Distance Education offering for students in Years 3 to 6 from Term 2, 2026.
Delivered by Aspect (Autism Spectrum Australia) the program provides a flexible and fully accredited learning option for students who find attending school challenging, or live too far from specialist education settings.
Kaye Perry, Principal, Aspect Treetop School said every child learns differently, and for some children on the autism spectrum, a home-based program can make all the difference.
“We’re proud to offer high-quality, autism-specific education that meets each student where they are,” said Ms Perry. “Our Distance Education program will blend live online lessons with flexible, individualised learning plans, supported by our experienced teachers and allied health team.”
The class will feature a high teacher-to-student ratio, with both a teacher and teacher’s aide supporting daily learning. Families are also supported through regular one-on-one check-ins, access to Aspect’s Learning Support Team (including occupational therapy, speech therapy, and social work), and optional Connection Days at the main Treetop campus for social and educational experiences.
The program is ideal for students who:
- Have a formal autism diagnosis
- Live in regional or remote areas, or
- Experience challenges attending traditional school settings
“Not every child thrives in a busy classroom, and that’s something we deeply understand,” Ms Perry said. “This program gives students another pathway to learn and grow, with the same understanding and expertise Aspect is known for.”
Families can now register their interest or attend an upcoming information session via aspect.org.au.
Enrolments are open to South Australian students in Years 3–6 who meet eligibility criteria, with the first class commencing in Term 2, 2026. (Limited places available for a Term 2, 2026 start date).
