Online Workshops for Autism Support
Autism Reach is an online service for people with Autism who don’t have any Autism specific support services within their reach. This could mean you live in a rural area, are unable to access building-based support, or you don’t have access to any Autism specific services in your area.
You can use your phone, laptop, tablet or any other device to join in!
Autism Specific Individual Learning Programme
We work with our members to create an Autism specific Individual Learning Plan (ILP) and help them work towards their goals and aspirations. We support the development of social interaction and communication skills through staffed online workshops and encourage peer support. Our workshops are member-led which means they choose the topics, for example, social skills, money management, independent living, media, and gaming.

Employment Support
At Specialist Autism Services we understand the barriers individuals on the Autism spectrum face when looking for and maintaining suitable employment.
We have developed a range of tried and tested programmes of support to address these barriers to employment, and empower individuals to make progress towards their work related goals.
Our employment support is member-led, person-centred and takes individuals strengths and abilities, as well as specific support needs into account.
We also work with employers directly and welcome interest and contact from local employers needing advice and support to fine tune their recruitment and working practises to be more inclusive and ‘autism friendly’.
