We want to ensure that all children, via support to their parents, can access the best services, information and support for them. We also want to ensure all individuals receiving a diagnosis in adulthood, find the right information and support. Our Autism support service provides between 4 and 6 sessions of individually tailored support, exploring what autism is, how to navigate the system, help with benefit applications, and signposting to relevant services.
We also have adult social support groups providing safe places across the county for people to meet, reducing isolation and increasing wellbeing.
Our parent support group, with family activities offers a safe space for families to come together and realise they are not alone. Activities include days trips such as the zoo, farm, Cadbury's world, space centre etc as well as active activities like water sports, cycling etc.
We want to increase our capacity to keep up with the demand for our services. We want to reduce our waiting list to be able to support more families and individuals when they need it most.
