Autism Initiatives

We started in the 1970s with a school. Now there's one stop shops, supported living services, social enterprises, resource centres and much more. Our work positively changes lives.

We are autism specialists committed to best practice

Our range of specialist autism services are person-led. No two people with autism are the same and neither are any of our personal plans. We work with each individual and their family to understand what they need, how they work best, and how we can support each person to achieve their own goals.

Where are we based?

Our head office is in Bootle, Merseyside. We deliver unique services and personalised opportunities to adults, children and families in a variety of locations in the North of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland and the Isle of Man.

We do not provide diagnosis, we specialise in provision of support services starting from the age of five through to support for autistic adults.

Our Vision

People with autism can learn and develop and we support this process every single day. We create unique services that enable people to have ownership of their own lives and future.

​Our Mission

To meet the needs of people with autism, their families and carers by providing a range of services which are personal, professional and innovative.
