BeyondAutism is a charity dedicated to empowering people with autism to lead fuller lives through positive educational experiences, training for the people who work with them and support for their families and carers. We are experts in educating children and young people with autism, applying the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and Verbal Behaviour (VB) to teach students and arm them with the life skills they need to live as independent a life as possible.
We run BeyondAutism Schools, Independent Special Schools, offering transformative specialist education and support for 65 children and young people with autism aged 4-19. We also run a Post-19 provision that empowers people with autism, preparing them for adulthood with a skillset that enables them to have choice and control. As well as these provisions we provide outreach and training services for parents, carers, professionals and schools and are piloting an Early-Years provision.
