Gheel Autism Services was founded in 1971 by parents of people with autism in the greater Dublin and North Kildare region. Here at Gheel, we provide day, residential and outreach services for adults with autism with the goal of maximising independence and enhancing quality of life for all of our service users. All of our programmes are tailored to recognise the unique individuality of persons with ASD. Our low arousal approach is the cornerstone of our philosophy here at Gheel which ensures that we respect each individual's autism and allows them to be who they are. Our mission is to help those with ASD become respected and valued members of the community in which they live.
