Our vision and values

Include ‘In’ Autism is a community interest company (CIC) dedicated to empowering people to lead fuller lives through positive life and personal experiences and support for them , their families and carers.

We are committed to providing the most appropriate support and care at every stage in a person’s life through ‘The Launchpad Pathway’. The pathway provides a clear progression through our services, which enables the people that we support to negotiate successfully the sometimes challenging transitional stages between childhood and adulthood. We believe in making anything possible for every individual without any barriers and judgement and encourage all to think outside the box.

Mission Statement:

“Our mission is not to fix people, but to provide effective environments”.
