How do I find them?

1.Get hold of your social worker or connexions adviser

You can find these at this address:

• www.connexions.gov.uk

2.Look in the phone book under the name of your council ask for a list of day services in the area

Even if you don’t live in Tameside or Kirklees check out these sites as they are well written and will give you some ideas of what to expect in your own area.

• www.tameside.gov.uk

• www.kirklees.gov.uk

3.Get hold of the charity that supports your disability (if there is one), they may run a day service and it may suit your needs

• The National Autistic Society

4.Visit them all if you can – it’s the best way to see if what they offer is right for you

5.Don’t be shy about saying no if something isn’t right and find out all your options before saying yes
