Specialised 1-2-1 support

Sometimes the hardest part isn't being autistic. It's feeling like you're figuring everything out on your own. Our specialist autism key workers are here to support you — one to one, at your own pace, on the things that matter most to you.

From peer coaching for families to tailored adult mentoring, advocacy, and outreach — our 1-2-1 service covers a very wide range of needs. If you're not sure whether we can help, just get in touch. We probably can.
