Check out PINPOINT

Pinpoint specialises in helping individuals over the age of 15 with Autism and mental illness. We focus on teaching new behaviours to help manage people’s mental health.

Sessions vary depending on the goals and objectives of the participant.

Group Therapy Program: The group typically begins with a gentle 25-minute walk followed by hand-eye coordination activities. Facilitators then present an interactive workshop that assists participants in managing their mental health. Following the workshop, our professional yoga instructor guides us through a series of basic yoga exercises and concludes with a short meditation session. All our activities involve the presence of our two therapy dogs, Luna & Paddy.

Behaviour and Social Skills Training:  Focuses on improving behaviour using behavioural techniques such as differential reinforcement,  direct instruction, role plays, shaping, positive reinforcement, video modelling and feedback.

Anxiety Management: Involves experiential exercises such as meditation, yoga, and basic grounding exercises.  

Physical Activity training: Targeted physical activities are undertaken to boost brain stimulation, increase focus and improve mental health. 

Animal-assisted therapy: Can be integrated into any service or therapy and helps participants connect with people, maintain calmness, and increases motivation to work on their goals.

Employment Advocacy: Uses the principles of behaviour analysis to assist individuals in maintaining employment and flourishing in their workplace. Emphasis is on collaboration with employers to maximise employee productivity.

Therapeutic Driving:  Targeted towards individuals with debilitating disabilities that require transport to essential appointments from a safe and familiar empathetic driver.

Location: Pinpoint specialises in intervening where the target behaviours occur. As a result, Pinpoint operates in an outreach capacity and meets participants in their natural environment such as their home, workplace, school, university, or community setting.
