ASGMA (Autistic Society Greater Manchester Area)
The ASGMA Aspirations project aims to help people with Asperger Syndrome to develop a ‘tool kit’ of life skills, particularly the social and communication skills that are needed to successfully function in today’s society.
We have supported over 500 people in a variety of settings. All of our staff are trained in the particular difficulties associated with Autistic Spectrum Conditions in general and Asperger Syndrome in particular. They are all experienced and trained at supporting this unique client group.
