Autism Solutions Ltd was established in 2003 by Steve Clothier, who has many years experience in senior positions within the social care field, and, in particular, support services for people with autistic spectrum disorders. Dissatisfied with the “institutional” nature of most services, which meant individuals with autism had to “fit in” or be excluded, Steve saw the need to concentrate on an individual approach to autism – hence Autism Solutions.
Autism Solutions Ltd has successfully retained its Investors in People recognition!
Following a review held in December 2006, the Assessor wrote: "I found it a pleasure to collect such positive evidence of people development within your teams. There was not one adverse comment all day - remarkable!"
This sums up what Autism Solutions Ltd is - a team - all working together towards the single goal of providing positive support to people with autism.
More GREAT news: The TRIAD Centre (Training, Recreation, Individually Assessed Development) opened on the 10th May 2007
Providing Training for support staff and anyone with an interest in autism or social care (please see the Training page); a well equipped and autism friendly activity centre where service users can learn, develop new skills, relax and have fun - since that's what life should be about!
