Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with, and relates to, other people.
A learning disability is a reduced intellectual ability and difficulty with everyday activities, such as: socialising, managing money and travelling around, which affects someone for their whole life.
At Bensham Resource Centre we support people to develop new skills, understand complex information and interact with other people through detailed individual person centered plans, depending on the level of support they require. The Centre delivers programs in a pictorial structured environment using sensory equipment and music which is ideal for adults with autism and learning disabilities.
