Day Opportunities

We aim to provide a wide range of educational, therapeutic and work environments that are developed in partnership with the individual with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their supporters.

Our highly skilled staff and extensive facilities equip us to work effectively with individuals, enabling them to participate and contribute meaningfully.

In providing activities, we focus on our philosophy and seek to ensure that the activity in which the individual is engaged, aids their personal development.

We work in partnership with individuals, to help them to become successful independent communicators and thinkers, within a culture of life-long learning.

Our core belief is that people with ASD should not be passive participants but rather they should be actively involved in both their daily activities and the wider community.

We aim to work holistically with parents, carers and professionals to ensure that a clear understanding of individuals needs is achieved, together with a consistent approach to how their needs are met.

Our activities are individually focused, and take place mainly in group sessions. An individual’s programme may include a selection from the following activities:

In-house therapeutic activities

Creative arts, Sensory activities including massage and personal image sessions.

In-house workshop activities

Light engineering, Office skills, ICT, Design Technology, Pottery / Ceramics, Catering and Horticulture.

Off-site activities

Swimming, Fell-walking, Cycling, Fishing, Conservation awareness and canoeing.

A focus on functional Literacy and Numeracy is present through a variety of activities.

Accreditation via the ASDAN award scheme can be achieved.

Our aim throughout the Day Services is to enrich the individual’s life experiences, enabling them to experience success and develop their self esteem and confidence. By providing a structured, visually clear environment and appropriate support we seek to promote independence through purposeful and enjoyable participation.
