LEANS Australia

Leans Aus

Reframing Autism is bringing the internationally acclaimed Learning About Neurodiversity at School (LEANS) program to Australia in 2026. LEANS is a free, teacher-delivered curriculum that introduces neurodiversity concepts to children aged 8-11, using a mixture of hands-on activities, story content, videos and engaging student resources.

Australian classrooms are vibrant and diverse, with neurodivergent students an important part of this community. Yet currently, there are no nationwide programs in Australia that focus on helping students understand and value different ways of processing and learning.

LEANS Australia will address this gap. Delivered by teachers to the whole class, it encourages shared learning and mutual understanding among neurodivergent and neurotypical peers. Once LEANS Australia is ready, it will be free to download from this website: www.leansaustralia.com.au

Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

The Reframing Autism team would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we have the privilege to learn, work, and grow. Whilst we gather on many different parts of this Country, the RA team walk on the land of the Awabakal, Birpai, Whadjak, and Wiradjuri peoples.

We are committed to honouring the rich culture of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this Country, and the diversity and learning opportunities with which they provide us. We extend our gratitude and respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and to all Elders past and present, for their wisdom, their resilience, and for helping this Country to heal.

Join us on the journey to reframe how society understands Autism
