AEIOU Townsville

We acknowledge people use different words to talk about autism, and each person will have a way of talking about themselves or people they care for that they like best. At AEIOU we use a combination of person-first and identify-first language. We do this based on the feedback of our parent community in a 2023 study. AEIOU is neurodiversity affirming and supports each child’s unique strengths, abilities and personal goals.

AEIOU Foundation acknowledges that our work in the community takes place on the traditional lands of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and respectfully recognise their ongoing custodianship. AEIOU is committed to reconciliation and is currently in the process of developing a Reconciliation Action Plan.
