People from all-over Derbyshire can contact us for advice and signposting to other organisations in their area that may be of assistance.
Group Aims
- To promote and enhance the care of people with Autism Spectrum Conditions & other disabilities
- To assist the carers of people with autism & disabilities
- To raise awareness of autism and the problems and constraints individuals and their families encounter
- To provide support, information and guidance to enable people with autism and their carers to maximize their opportunities and potential
We are direct service providers through a Children in Need grant to 20 children & young people mainly in the Amber Valley area. This service can be home or community based, its purpose is to provide activity & stimulation and the advancement of self –help skills to young people with Autistic Spectrum Conditions and other disabilities. This project also gives parents/cares a break.
