Delighted to hear of this new venture

New £18m autism centre opening to cope with lack of support in the UK

Britain’s first independent centre dedicated to autism diagnosis, therapy and research is set to open this year – and aims to revolutionise the way millions of people in the UK affected by the condition can be helped.

National charity, Caudwell Children, has revealed plans for an £18million facility being built at Keele University in Staffordshire, which will open this autumn.

The state-of-the-art Caudwell International Children’s Centre (CICC) will be the first of its kind in the UK and promises to lead the way in multi-disciplinary assessments, family support services and research into a wide range of autism interventions.
