“I think the establishment of PAPA was a watershed in bringing together
parents into a grouping where alongside professionals, as the name suggests,
they could have a more effective voice. PAPA also gave a chance to learn
together, to look at best practice and new ideas for helping children on
the autistic spectrum. Indeed PAPA has developed some very innovative resources
for parents and their children”.
Nigel Williams Children’s Commissioner.
