Organisation Detail
Specialism Autism Service
Organisation Aims and Activities: Purpose - Specialist Autism Services (formerly known as Sacar) has worked exclusively for and with adults (18+) on the autism spectrum and their families since 1999. We are a non-profit organisation that works with the charity Sacar out of premises across the Yorkshire region. We now provide a range of services including autism-specific counselling, employment support, group social skills workshops (through an autism-specific learning programme), autism awareness training and community outreach support. Under the name Autism First we also provide bespoke support for adults with autism and additional needs. We aim to make a positive difference to the lives of our service users (members) and through person-centred support we create opportunities for people to work towards their personal goals, build confidence, develop social skills, increase independence and ultimately fulfil their potential.
