Scottish Autism provides support for children and young people aged 5 to 19 through individualised outreach support, our respite and short breaks service and our education service. We take the time to build up an understanding of each young person, taking into account their processing and thinking style and maximising their learning potential.
We provide a wide range of services for autistic adults including day and vocational opportunities, outreach support and a variety of supported living options. Across our services we consider how each person thinks, learns and processes information in order to develop a personalised support plan.
We have a dedicated team of experienced autism advisors who are on hand to give emotional and practical support to families and professionals. Whether it is signposting to particular services, information on getting a diagnosis or just someone to talk to who understands, we have someone here who can help.
