I AM Celebrating Autism in Greater Manchester (formerly ASGMA)

I AM Celebrating Autism aims to help children aged 10 and over and adults with autistic spectrum conditions (ASC) 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 many hundreds of people in a variety of settings. All of our staff are trained in the particular difficulties associated with Autistic Spectrum Conditions. They are all experienced and trained at supporting this unique client group.
