Circus Stars is a specially designed circus training program for children with autism.

 

The Circus Stars program was founded by Dr Kristy Seymour, through her extensive research into how circus works for autism (2012,2017).

 

Founded in 2013 it was the very first circus school in the world to be dedicated to children on the autism spectrum. Circus Stars classes are inclusive, creative, risky and challenging all in a fun and supportive gentle environment and in 2017 Circus Stars was awarded an Autism Queensland Creative Futures Recognition award.
