Our Vision is to 'Empower people living with Autism'. Our focus and purpose is to work with individuals, family/whanau, carers, professionals and community organisations to provide information, support, education, training and advocacy around Autism Spectrum and related disorders. We offer Autism specific education and training programmes for individuals, family/whanau and support groups that cater to the needs of these individuals and families in an environment that can be assured as safe and responsive to their unique needs. We provide an outreach service that is well received by the community. The needs of our people are varied, and they often have other disabilities as well, so we collaborate with the health and disability sectors to ensure they are connected to the appropriate organisations to ensure they get what they need.
