Confident at last.

Happy, at last. 

Smiling, at last. 

Only a month afterhis first visit, the Anne McDonald Centrehelped Elias demonstrate how well he reads, types, and comprehends.  The days of isolation for this nonverbal autistic little boy are over.

He has a new way to walk. And he will never walk alone.

Join us for our annual tea party. 

Elias has now started on his communication journey.....  And is writing stories.

"One night the dinosaurs in the Melbourne Museum came back to life and went for a walk in the park.  They got into the lake, and the ducks got scared and made a noise..."

Watch out if you're in the Exhibition Gardens after dark!

In honour of Elias we're inviting you to enjoy a Tea-Rex party at home.  While your tea brews, aask yourself how you'd cope if you couldn't tell stories. And ask yourself how you can help those who can't.
