The Autism Professionals Awards annually recognise and reward services and professionals who are leading the way in innovative autism practice and making a real difference to the lives of autistic people in the UK.
A special ceremony took place at Birmingham Town Hall, on 27 February, with hosts Jane Asher and Carly Jones MBE. Jane, who is our President, is an actor, writer and businesswoman; Carly is an autism advocate and presenter.
They handed out awards across 13 categories covering education, health, social care, employment, and volunteering. The winners were chosen by independent panel of autism specialists. They looked for high standards of innovation, creativity, impact and sustainability.
