The voices of autistic children and young people are at the heart of everything that we do. We want to help create a world where autistic children and young people are heard, included and supported.
We are Ambitious about Autism - Every autistic child and young person has the right to be themselves and realise their ambitions.
We stand with autistic children, young people and their families to champion rights, campaign for change and create opportunities. We started as one school and have become a movement for change.
Our services include providing information and practical support and delivering specialist education and employment programmes. We run specialist education services, an award-winning employment programme and children and young people are at the heart of our charity's decision-making, policy work and campaigning. We also use our expertise to deliver training and consultancy to a wide range of organisations to improve awareness and understanding of autism.
Connecting young people
Young people are at the heart of everything we do. We listen to them to ensure our work reflects their views and needs. We stand with them and ensure their voices are heard and considered by policy and decision-makers, the media and the general public.
Ambitious Youth Network - Through our online peer support and project work we bring autistic young people together to tackle isolation and loneliness, understand their autistic identity and have their voices heard. We have seen young people from across England grow together and become firm friends.
