PAACT Support is an ASDAN registered centre helping children and young adults to gain life skills through learning.
ASDAN is an Education Charity and awarding organisation whose curriculum programmes and qualifications transform life chances through learning.
PAACT (Parents and Autistic Children Together) have been working closely alongside ASDAN by providing some of their learning programmes for the last few years.
As an ASDAN Registered Centre, PAACT recognise that our children and young adults all learn in different ways. ASDAN enables the learning of skills to be flexible and tailor-made to all who participate. The learning fits in with the learner, their capabilities and pace, not the other way around. Courses are designed to foster personal, social, and work-related skills enabling learners to discover, develop and utilise their abilities. For more details please call 07840 569 368.
