About Us
“We are proud of our warm, friendly, supportive services that strive to improve the quality of life of autistic people and their families.”
Simone Reeves – CEO Mansfield Autism Statewide Services
We are passionate about our approach and have a strong emphasis on understanding the families that we work with. We know how autism can impact on individuals and families in unique ways and we understand and respect the diversity that is autism.
We strive to empower the autistic person and their family to reach their goals and aspirations by providing individually tailored programs.
We have kept the traditions and values that our service was originally founded on while combining best practice, research based approaches that are individualised and strengths based.
We are a not for profit organisation. We look forward to forming a strong partnership with you and your family.
