To provide expert, multidisciplinary services in health and education, across the lifespan.

To lead by example, showing that it is possible to run a truly integrated service employing best practice, innovative, value for money services for all business sectors.

Vision

A world that views neurodiversity and ‘thinking differently’ as a strength, whilst acknowledging and understanding the difficulties associated with lifespan neurodevelopmental conditions.

Values 

We take a strength-based approach. We emphasise the intelligence, talents and employability of those with ‘different abilities’, whilst acknowledging that they can result in disadvantage and exclusion in education, as well as health and economic dependencies.

Working in partnership with all stakeholders, we provide exemplary, innovative, holistic, person-centred services and training programmes that enable and empower the neurodiverse community.

We enable public services in the UK and employers through training and support to ensure that a neurodiversity paradigm is enshrined in public policy and legislation.
