About Vision Beyond Autism
We exist as two organisations. VBA UK is a UK registered charity with specific aims and objectives. Vision Beyond Autism Community Interest Company provides specialised support to children and young adults with autism, or any individual with additional needs.
We are parent founded, Care Quality Commission registered and professionally staffed. We use Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) in supporting children and young people to access the services they need to become as independent as possible.
We specialise in supporting individual’s access to school, college, community or leisure activities, and work opportunities. We also consult with those seeking to integrate ABA into other settings. Our commitment is to helping children and young people become as independent as possible.
We currently operate in Cheshire, Warrington, Greater Manchester and Liverpool.
What is autism?
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability (or difference) that affects how people perceive the world and interact with others. Autistic people see, hear and feel the world differently from other people. Autism is for life; it is not an illness or disease and cannot be ‘cured’. Many autistic people feel that being autistic is a fundamental aspect of their identity.
Autism is a spectrum condition so although all autistic people share certain difficulties, being autistic affects them in different ways. Some autistic people also have learning disabilities, mental health issues or other conditions, meaning that different people need different levels of support. Everyone on the autism spectrum learns and develops. With the right support, all can be helped to live a more fulfilling life of their own choosing.
Our vision
Respect for each individual
The cornerstone of our vision is respect for the individual and the firm belief that acquiring skills enables an individual to have more choice and a richer life. We offer dignity, respect and aspiration and select staff who are committed to these concepts and are prepared to train to a high standard.
