As her sons needs changed, with adulthood approaching, Pat's vision developed and she realised there was a need for adult services for autistic people.
Now called Autism Initiatives, Pats legacy continues in a variety of locations in the UK & Ireland providing autism specialist services from supported living to schools, from a short break service to one stop shops, from work placements to training, clubs and activities.
Autism Initiatives has a wealth of resources and expertise that support autistic people to achieve their personal goals. Peterhouse School is pleased to have achieved many accolades, awards and achievements over the years, however the achievements of our pupils both past and present is what makes us truly proud.
