We are a private organization that provides support to children, adolescents and adults with autism and their families in Norway. We also provide counselling for employees in education and training as well as for employers.

At SPISS, we are aware that all people have the same value, and we are aware that all people, regardless of diagnosis, functioning and age, are entitled to respect, recognition and, last but not least, control over their own lives. That is why we will try to give individuals the best possible self-control. In our work, those we work for and with are the ones who set the standards and decide in which direction we will go.

We believe that trust is important as a basis for providing good help, so we believe that focusing on building good relationships is key. We believe that it is in dialogue that relationships are created between us and those we want to help. To succeed in building relationships and creating trust, we need to be humble enough to understand that we don’t understand everything and clear enough to show who we are as people.  At SPISS, we make sure that we have have an updated knowledge knowledge of methods, approaches, and tools, and that we first practically carry out all the measures that we later require from others. This means that after planning the work, we usually get involved in practical testing, introduction and start-up of the measures. We also believe that WE should be the ones to be available when those we help are ready, not the other way around! Our work is therefore guided by the principles of professionalism, practicality and accessibility!
