About Aspire Scotland
Aspire Scotland is part of Priory Education and Children’s Services and offers specialist care and/or education services across Ayrshire.
Our aim is to make a difference to the lives of children and young people aged 8-18 years with a range of complex needs. This includes an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), child sexual exploitation (CSE), emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD), and other behaviours that may challenge.
