Annex 2 Projects and where to get further information
Pilot services for adults with ASD and Asperger's and their families
Two projects, one Glasgow based and one Edinburgh-based provide a one-stop shop for adults with ASD, including those with Asperger's syndrome, and for family members.
The services aim to address their health needs in a wider sense, preventing unnecessary admission to very specialist settings. Those who use the service also benefit from the knowledge and skills of staff beyond the health sector.
The projects include:
- Health maintenance and health improvement
- Social skills training
- Parent and carer self-help groups
- Employment advice and coaching
Boards and local authorities have worked collaboratively and involved the Scottish Society for Autism and National Autistic Society in project design and development.
