Helping the Community to Help our Kids

This financial year, the foundation has helped numerous schools and centres with funding and software.

Community Funding

The Luke Priddis Foundation offers Community Funding to services in the community helping Autistic and Special Needs Children.

This year the foundation gave out funding to four centres in the local area to help with their educational services.

Software for Schools and Centres

Thanks to a very generous donation of $7,000 from Sydney Water, the Luke Priddis Foundation was able to purchase “Boardmaker Plus” software packages for 14 Schools/Centres in Western Sydney, who run classes for and/or cater for children with Autism and other special needs.

“Boardmaker” software enables the user to create interactive symbol based communication and educational materials and is widely used among special educators and speech pathologists throughout Australia and overseas.
