What is YAAP?
This is an exciting opportunity to meet like-minded people, at the same time as have a say on the development of services for young people with Autistic Spectrum Condition.
We welcome all autistic people (and those on the pathway) aged 11-25 within YAAP, regardless of their communication needs, and create a safe environment to express needs and aspirations. From creating resources through to interviewing for staff, the young people have been able to have meaningful opportunities to engage and have a voice. This has built their self esteem and confidence, and also reduced isolation through the establishment of peer friendships.
