We aim to help people make the most of further education, training, and employment opportunities, as well as signposting them and their carers or employers to useful and appropriate information, benefits or assistance with housing and financial information. We also help people to develop their social, communication and relationship skills through our adult groups.
Our adult services team provides:
-
support, advice, guidance, information and training to individuals affected by Asperger syndrome, their carers and professionals working in the field.

specialist help and training to support professionals from other organisations and services as well as carers that are supporting someone with AS.
