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.
