The AB4D PROJECT

Email: ab4d@summitservices.org.uk

AB4D (Ability B4 Disability) is an Essex wide service delivered by SUMMIT and BATIAS in partnership with Essex County Council (ECC) for people with Learning Disabilities or Autism.

The aim of the service is to provide a flexible platform where people can be empowered to have a voice in their local community, discuss issues that are important to them and work together to find solutions.

AB4D works with anyone with a lived experience of learning disability or autism to gather their views, to collaborate and influence positive change.
