What We Do
Our help is varied and far reaching. We provide three main areas of support:
Portfield School for education
Community Wessex for social care services
Advocacy and Advice services
Our services are available to anyone who needs it – people with autism and associated difficulties, families and professionals. Anyone affected by autism can rely on us for support.
What We Believe
While there is no cure for autism, we believe that with appropriate education, support or care and by making the world an easier place to understand, the impact of autism can be reduced and people with autism can be active citizens enjoying maximum independence and a good quality of life.
