Asperger Syndrome
Nua Healthcare open new specialist centre for individuals with
Asperger Syndrome / High functioning Autism. (Spring 2008)
Nua Healthcare Services have just opened a new addition to our service
in Monasterevin. This state of the art facility for people with
Asperger Syndrome and High functioning Autism includes a purpose
designed Snoezeln multisensory room, fully equipped gymnasium, special
education room and multimedia room.
Our gymnasium will be of particular interest to many individuals and
families. Many of our client group have significant difficulties with
engaging in mainstream settings such as gyms, social clubs, football
teams etc. The nature of
Asperger Syndrome itself makes such settings
and social encounters so difficult that often they cannot actively
partake and often go without exercise. This new state of the art gym
is fully equipped with professional gym equipment.
The multimedia room has a wide selection of documentaries and
educational materials and provides a comfortable setting for
individuals to be themselves and pursue their interests.

About Nua
Nua Healthcare was formed in 2004 by a group of experienced social
care professionals to fill a significant gap in services for people
with Asperger Syndrome / High functioning Autism. Prior the
organisations inception, many individuals were faced with being
inappropriately placed in learning disability or psychiatric services.
This was of great concern / stress to individuals and families
affected by the condition.
Our first residential facility was opened in November 2004 Winterdown
Farm. Since then our service has expanded significantly. We now have
many residential units in operation as well as three state of the art
day services. Our residential settings range from adolescent, low
support, high support, secure and a new purpose developed independent
living complex.
Our staff and management have extensive experience working in the area
of developmental disability, community services and crisis
intervention. All staff are highly motivated, fully trained and
committed to quality, social inclusion and service user empowerment.
We have had great success in designing and implementing person centred
programmes for a varied client group which has led to a significant
increase in quality of life for these individuals and their families.
