Autism Spectrum Conditions

autism small The ASC Specialist Service started in 2006 to offer a specialist, reliable, consistent and responsive service that has invested time in understanding the individual needs of those on the spectrum that we support.

Our ASC outreach service offers opportunities for individuals on the spectrum, to develop their skills and competencies so that they can live as valued members of their community and feel equal to their peers.

We support them accordingly, understanding their needs, wants and equipping them with the necessary skills to be a part of the wider community. We also support the people around them, equipping them with the necessary skills to facilitate this.
