Adult Services

Our adult services help people to explore their potential, make choices and ultimately make a successful transition from childhood into adulthood.

Futures (18-25)

Futures is a programme that empowers 18 - 25-year-olds to realise their full potential and achieve more independence in their lives. The provision is centred around the Preparation for Adulthood framework and bespoke learning opportunities, to allow each individual to learn the skills they need to achieve their life aspirations.

Portfield School

At Portfield School, students learn to build the skills, understanding and information they need to enable them to develop independence and flourish, not just in childhood but into adulthood and for the rest of their lives.

Training

Our online courses range from 'Understanding Autism' to 'What is Neurodiversity?'. These tailor-made courses are co-designed by Neurodiverse people who provide you with first hand lived experience into their world. All our training is delivered in an interactive and engaging way.
