PAMIS works with people with profound and multiple learning disabilities, their family carers and professionals who support them. PAMIS co-ordinators try to ensure that each child or adult with profound and multiple learning disabilities has the best possible opportunities for choice, inclusion and quality of life. They provide practical help, advice, training and information, individual support and contact with other families, assistance with achieving better access to community resources, whether mainstream or specialist, and the opportunity to influence policy and services significantly, both at local and national levels. In addition, PAMIS is involved in a number of projects such as Healthy Lifestyles and Motor Activity Training. The organisation runs regular workshops for parents, carers and professionals.
