Introduction to NORSACA
NORSACA is a charity that enables people with autism to live their
lives with dignity, choice and independence.
The charity was established in 1968 by a group of parents who wanted to ensure that there were appropriate educational facilities for children with autism in the Nottinghamshire area. The school they set up, Sutherland House, is now located across five sites. The charity also offers residential and day care services for adults. In addition, Family Services offers help and support to the families of people with autism.
