Leisure Skills

 Leisure skills sessions are personalised to suit the needs and interests of each young person with ASC. They are based around communication, choice making, developing hobbies and interests and enjoying health and physical activities.

Leisure skills sessions are usually paired or small group activities with similar peers but are also bookable as 1 to 1 or 2 to 1 sessions depending on the needs of your young person and availability. These are bookable throughout the year and can be morning, afternoon or a full day depending on availability.

Popular activities include arts and crafts, baking, bowling, walking, cinema, swimming, gym, shopping, lunch out and visiting places of interest with friends.

The sessions are bookable throughout the year and available for ages 15 to 25 years.

Individual Programmes of Support

After an initial consultation and risk assessment, a bespoke programme will be planned with the young person’s specific needs in mind.

Visual information and tailored work packs will also be provided as part of these programmes.

Available for young people with ASC aged 15 years plus.
