For over 35 years we've led the way in providing specialist care, education and services for children, young people and adults with autism, across the North-east of England.

It’s at the heart of who we are to recognise the uniqueness of every human being, and to understand that as a spectrum condition no two people with autism will have the same needs or wants.
