Specialist Autism Services (formerly known as Sacar) has worked exclusively for and with adults on the autism spectrum and their families since 1999. With premises across the Yorkshire region, we now provide a range of services including autism-specific counselling, employment support, group social skills workshops, autism awareness training and community outreach support. Under the name Autism First we also provide bespoke support for adults with autism and additional needs.

We’ve learnt a lot from the people we have supported over the last two decades and continue to adapt our services and working practices to best meet the needs of adults with autism. We aim to make a positive difference to the lives of our service users (members) and through person-centred support we create opportunities for people to build confidence, develop social skills, increase independence and ultimately fulfil their potential.

We currently operate out of premises in Bradford, Leeds, Shipley & York.
