Wiltshire offers a range of support for young people with learning disabilities and autism. Our team work closely with individuals and their families on a personalised plan that starts with their existing skills and interests.

Day opportunities are for people with a learning disability who wish to be independent in the community but require additional training or assistance. The services aim to enable community members to join in activities, work or volunteer, to meet up with friends, and make new ones!

More information about day opportunities can be found by visiting the adult care website:

Every day adults, children and their carers struggle to access their community and local area because they are unable to use standard accessible toilet facilities - something that many of us take for granted. Wiltshire Council is committed to enabling everyone within the community access to our vibrant towns, services and local amenities. We are proud to support the national Changing Places (opens new window) campaign.
