Ann Coleman Day Facility |
| |
Statement of Purpose: The Ann Coleman Day Unit is a modern, purpose built building opened in June 2002. It provides very specialised day care for young people who have Autism or Asperger Syndrome. The Avon Autistic Foundation was established in 1982 and has three residential homes in Bristol, which offer residential placements to some twenty-two residents. The Day Unit is open from Monday to Friday, 9.15 a.m. to 3.30 p.m. and offers a wide range of activities to suit individual needs. |

The Day facility has a large spacious kitchen, where a wide range of skills are taught from bread making to preparation of exotic cuisine. There are two craft rooms offering a wide range of arts and craft subjects such as mosaics to fine art. The computer suite has up-to-date computers, where service users can develop their skills or enjoy computer games. Service users can relax in our snoezelon and enjoy many new sensory features. For those more energetic people we offer a wide range of outward bound pursuits such as hill walking, swimming, badminton and horse-riding. There is also a wide choice of fun activities from ten-pin bowling to shopping, cinema visits and disco dancing. Day service users can also enrol at local colleges for courses ranging from computer studies to self-advocacy towards independence. | |||
