| Résumé : |
The Walsall Befriending Project is a pilot project undertaken in Walsall. It was set up in September 2012 by the regional charity Autism West Midlands (AWM) and is funded by Walsall Council. It is a service available for free to adults with autism that aims to create opportunities for friendship, fun, sharing challenges and personal development. This paper by Emma Cross who led the project, and Dr Elisabeth Hurley who is a Research Officer at AWM, offers an example of how a relatively inexpensive and low level support service can enable people with autism to socialise and to become more independent, to enhance their quality of life. |
