Green Light PBS provides specialized care for adults with autism and learning disabilities in Cornwall. Established in 2009, the organization has grown to support 50 individuals across 19 locations, with a strong focus on person-centered and community-based care. They aim to empower individuals to achieve lifestyles they are proud of, in alignment with national guidance that reduces institutional care and promotes independence and choice.

Green Light’s services are tailored for adults aged 16-64 with learning disabilities and autism, including those with Down's Syndrome and Prader-Willi Syndrome. Referrals for support typically come from social workers or care coordinators for individuals deemed to have eligible needs. Assessments are conducted by a senior team with input from the individual and their family.

The organization does not offer emergency placements, instead focusing on planned and assessable support. Their approach prioritizes understanding individual needs, especially regarding challenging behaviors, to ensure appropriate care. Green Light is dedicated to providing resources and guidance to help families navigate support systems effectively. Overall, Green Light's mission is to create a supportive environment that fosters a developmental lifestyle for every person in their care.
