A little about the Lab
\n\nThe Lab program is a collaboration between AAHA and the Lab Network, which offers one-to-one tuition by technology professionals in areas such as programming, 3D, digital design and gaming. The Lab is a growing network of technology clubs for 10 to 16 year-old young people diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome or High Functioning Autism who enjoy working with computers.
\n\n\n\n
The Lab’s approach to learning emerged out of previous projects run by its founders, a Victoria University researcher and a software developer. By pairing young people who have Asperger’s Syndrome/High Functioning Autism with tutors who have technical expertise in areas of mutual interest, The Lab seeks to improve the wellbeing and life prospects of young people who are often highly skilled but whose condition can lead them to fall through gaps in the mainstream education system.

\n\nAt each weekly two-hour Lab session, two computer programmers and designers work individually with between 10 and 20 young people to develop their social and technology skills. We provide an environment where participants can share their interests in a wide variety of things such as gaming together, YouTube video creation and sharing, graphic design, programming and game development.
\n\n\n\n
Our approach to Lab sessions
\n\nWe take an unstructured approach so every session can be different. We want participants to undertake activities because it interests them, not because they have to. This approach is deliberately unlike school, and is based on our experience with hundreds of young people.
