Autism Berkshire: Providing Support and Advocacy for Individuals with Autism
Autism Berkshire is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1990 as the Berkshire Autistic Society. The organization was established by a group of parents who had children with autism, related conditions, and challenging behaviors. Since then, Autism Berkshire has been providing support and advocacy for individuals with autism in the Berkshire area.
The mission of Autism Berkshire is to help individuals with autism lead fulfilling lives by providing them with the necessary support and resources. The organization aims to raise awareness about autism and related conditions while also promoting acceptance and understanding within the community.
Autism is a complex developmental disorder that affects communication, social interaction, behavior, and sensory processing. It can manifest differently in each individual, making it difficult to diagnose or treat effectively. However, early intervention can significantly improve outcomes for those affected by this condition.
At Autism Berkshire, we understand that every individual on the spectrum has unique needs. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to meet those needs. Our services include information and advice on all aspects of living with autism; training courses for parents/carers; social groups for adults on the spectrum; youth groups for children aged 8-17 years old; specialist benefits advice service; workshops on topics such as sensory issues or anxiety management; outreach work in schools or other settings.
We also provide advocacy services to help individuals access appropriate education or healthcare services while ensuring their rights are protected under UK law.
Our team consists of experienced professionals who are passionate about helping individuals with autism reach their full potential. We work closely with families, schools, healthcare providers, local authorities, employers - anyone who can make a positive difference in an autistic person's life.
At Autism Berkshire we believe that everyone deserves equal opportunities regardless of their abilities or disabilities. We strive to create an inclusive society where people on the spectrum are valued members who contribute positively to their communities.
