The Integrated Autism Service (IAS) provides tailored support for autistic adults and their support network.
We use a stepped approach to care:
For some, information and advice by phone or email may meet their needs.
For others, an individual appointment may be appropriate.
If you are autistic, a parent/carer of an autistic adult, or a professional and would like to refer for support, please complete this Referral Form and return it to us by email.
Appointments take place in our Penarth base, online, or by phone. During the initial appointment, we explore the person’s needs. Possible outcomes include:
Recommendations to other services
Support to link with other services
Access to IAS groups or workshops
Time-limited, goal-focused support
The IAS is not funded to provide all ongoing support for autistic adults. We specifically support those who do not meet criteria for other services (e.g. mental health or learning disability services). Where someone is already supported by another service, IAS can offer consultation and joint working where appropriate.
If you have any questions about whether a referral is suitable, we are happy to discuss this. Please contact us at cav.ias@wales.nhs.uk.
