Orbis Education and Care

About the Company

Whilst no two people with autism are the same, every individual has strengths, skills, interests, opinions and aspirations, and above all the right to a socially-valued life which is as full and fulfilling as anyone else's.

Orbis offers a range of services including day and residential education and care services: schools and residential homes for children, and community homes for adults, as well as a pioneering work-skills day service. We also offer in-house therapeutic support including Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy and Positive Behavioural Support.

We work with careers, health and social services, schools, parents and commissioners to offer full-time, part-time, residential and day placements supported with a person-centred approach to learning and care designed around the specific needs and circumstances of the individual and their family.

In all, our aim is to provide person-centred, safe and supportive environments, combined with our many years' experience of supporting individuals with autism, to promote life, work and social skills, learning, self-esteem and confidence, and the tools required to live a happy and as independent a life as possible.
