'AEIOU - for children with autism' is a not for profit organisation and Queenslands only full time early education program for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs), aged two-and-a-half to five years of age. AEIOU opened the first centre at Moorooka in February 2005 and have since opened another four centres in Bray Park, Toowoomba, Townsville and Park Ridge.
AEIOU's mission is to provide a placement to every child with ASD, from the time of diagnosis, to facilitate their transition to mainstream education, and to continue to support the child and their family through the child's schooling years. By 2010, AEIOU aims to have opened seven centres providing 120 fulltime placements around Queensland. AEIOU also aims to raise awareness and support of children with autism.
