Type of service: Outreach

Service URL: http://www.autism.org.uk

Our flexible outreach service of 25 hours or more per week helps autistic adults to take part in activities outside their home, build their confidence and become more independent in all aspects of life. For example, we can help people to take part in their favourite sport or attend a college course.

The Bristol and South Gloucestershire outreach service supports autistic children, young people and adults. They offer person centred and flexible support which responds meaningfully to people's needs, interests and goals. They also help to identify personal and professional development needs. Outreach provides support to people to enable them to access the community. This might include support in a person's own home, family home, supported living, education, employment, recreation/leisure and within the Criminal Justice System. Specialist advocacy is also available. Self referrals are accepted from individuals that receive direct payments. Enquiries to sw.services@nas.org.uk
