We aim to provide a comprehensive information and advice service on all matters affecting the rights of a child or an adult with autism, and autism related problems including Asperger Syndrome and challenging behaviour. This includes State Benefits, Health & Social Services issues, education, respite care and leisure opportunities. We are a friendly sympathetic group, always willing to share a problem, or to provide more positive help when needed via our help-lines and in person if needed.
Once a month we invite speakers of special interest to cover a wide range of topics, many of which are relevant to the parents and carers of all children and adults with special needs and professionals working in this particular field. We organise ‘sole-use’ leisure facilities in various parts of the county e.g. swimming, trampolining, adventure soft-play. We also have an Information Resource, reference materials and Internet access for members’ use as well as several other services and events.
