and aim to provide individuals with autism and their families with help, support and services that they can access, trust and rely upon and which can make a positive difference to their lives.

* ensure that our services meet the needs of our clients
* provide new skills and perspectives
* increase our contact with the community we serve
* reflect our diverse community.
