Schools

Each of our schools enables students to develop life, social and communication skills and achieve academically in safe, structured environments. As each student progresses these skills can then be transferred to and developed in the wider community as they become more independent.
 
  • Barton School, located on the edge of Barton upon Humber in North Lincolnshire, is a purpose-built school enabling children and young people with autistic spectrum disorders to make sense of and engage with the world around them.
  • Higford School is a purpose-built, state-of-the-art, school for children and young people aged between 8-19 with autistic spectrum disorders and complex sensory, communication, behavioural and physical needs located on a peaceful 28-acre site near Telford in Shropshire.
  • Kinsale School is a specialist ASD school set in a stunning location overlooking the Dee Estuary in North Wales, providing specialised person centred programmes of integrated care, education and therapy.
 

Transitional Services

Options Group’s Adolescent to Adult Life Preparation Service (AALPS) offers specialist support to young people aged 15 to 25 with autistic spectrum disorders who are making the transition from children’s services to adult services.

  • AALPS North is a well-established, CQC-approved residential service for young adults aged 16+, with placements available across two sites located in rural settings close to Scunthorpe. AALPS North creates pathways that guide young people through their journey towards increased independence.
