Neurodiversity Connections Hub in Southampton
About Southampton Neurodiversity Connections Hub
The Southampton Neurodiversity Connections Hub is based in Bitterne and is a base for multiple services for autism in the Southampton area.
The hub has been created as a place for neurodivergent people, their parents/carers and professionals to receive valuable individualised advice from a variety of organisations who are working together to provide a joined up approach. By working together, it enables each organisation to support individuals within a safe space and signpost or refer to each other to ensure that people are accessing all appropriate advice and information.
Autism Hampshire is co-ordinating and managing the centre to enable local services to use the space to meet people that they are supporting.
Services based here include:
- Autism Hampshire's Information and Advice service
- Southampton Autism Support Service
- No Limits
- Speaking Space
Please contact the individual service in advance to make an appointment. Unfortunately the hub is not able to welcome drop ins at this time.
