I AM provides support to children (over the age of 10 years) and adults who have a diagnosis of autism.

We offer one to one and outreach support to individuals. This support could be to undertake daily activities such as shopping, going to appointments or travel or simply providing a helping hand to get out and about and undertaken activities that would otherwise be too challenging.
