Merton Autism Outreach Service (MAOS)

MAOS supports Merton Local Authority schools and Academies. It supports the inclusion of pupils with autism and social communication difficulties in mainstream settings. It works in an advisory role with schools supporting staff in developing their understanding of autism and sharing tools and strategies to enable pupils to access learning and social opportunities. Advice relating to the needs of specific pupils and staff training is also provided. Unfortunately, it does not work directly with parents/guardians.
