At GAP, we run safe and engaging camps and clubs for children ages 3 years and upwards. Clubs and camps are open to children and adults with a diagnosis of autism and also those undergoing or awaiting assessment for autism.
We offer Special Interest Clubs including Fit & Funky and STEM, as well as our social clubs.
GAP recognises that peer support is invaluable and that making connections with families and individuals in similar situations is very important in terms of advice and understanding.
Our weekly Parent & Carer Support group meets via Zoom every Monday at 11 am and is facilitated by a Child and Adolescent Therapist.
Have a question? Looking for someone to speak to regarding autism? Call 091 5888 99 or email us. Whether you are a parent of a child awaiting assessment, just diagnosed or an adult who thinks they may be autistic - we are here to help.
GAP recognises how valuable peer support is for the whole family. We regularly organise fun events which allow the entire family to spend time with others, enjoying each other’s company and make new memories. These family days are a foundation stone for GAP and are always positive and fun events, like our Sensory Santa or Summer Family Fun Days.
GAP offers our ''Autism: What is Unique is Wonderful'' School Presentation to Primary and Secondary school students in Galway city and county at no cost.
This presentation is developed to raise awareness and understanding of autism in schools and communities and to promote acceptance of differences.
GAP Membership is now available. Membership is renewed on an Annual basis.
Membership entitles you and your family to:
If you are an autistic individual or have one person in your family requiring support, GAP membership costs just €20 per year.

Please contact the GAP Office on 091 588899 or coordinator@galwayautismpartnership.com for more information.
GAP activities rely on the involvement of our incredible volunteers, without whom we could not do the work that we do.
Volunteers are involved in our weekly clubs and groups, our Summer camps and our community events. We also rely on the support of our volunteers for fundraising events and administrative tasks such as social media management, IT support and promotion.
