Children’s programs
At PAHS we offer a range of therapy led or community and recreational focused programs. These run as school term programs, school holiday programs, or one-off groups. Our groups run from the PAHS house in Hackham, and the farm in Clarendon.

Our adult programs include: all day programs, social groups gardening groups, and different animal groups.
Our group programs
Trained therapists or allied health assistants run group sessions. Our therapist’s will work towards identified goals and outcomes. Through our therapy led mentoring program, skilled mentors can also assist, providing 1:1 support for individuals who require additional support. We also run a number of groups which are billed through NDIS core supports, please talk to us about how to optimise your plan and which program/s would suit you best. groups@pahs.com.au
