Who we are

Autism Consultancy Services was established in response to a need for empathetic and meaningful advocacy, guidance and support for young people with diagnoses of ASD.

Autism Consultancy Services works closely with parents, schools and third parties to create a supportive environment in which all children can thrive, parents feel supported, and all teachers feel successful and valued.  Our holistic and evidence-based practice is oriented to supporting neurodivergent students within the educational system and beyond.

We provide Neuro-affirmative therapy which supports the children we work with to understand the world they live in. We do not provide ABA therapy.
