One of the many services offered by Leeds Autism AIM over the years is personalised self-advocacy tools. These are designed to help autistic adults speak for themselves and communicate their needs without having to verbalise them.
They can be used in a variety of settings and situations. These include in the workplace, in a public building, in a hospital or GP surgery and when feeling stressed and/or anxious. The twist with our suite of self-advocacy tools is that they can be customised to say what whoever owns them wants to say.
