Up and coming events which may be of interest to you...
As a result of the Autism Act and the National Adult Autism Strategy we want to hold consultation events to help us understand how we can develop the best possible autism services for local people with autism, their families and their carers. We want to hear your views on the services available and how we can best use current funding to improve and extend services for people with autism relating to:
- Employment
- Housing
- Health
- Leisure activities
- Awareness raising and training
- Transition
