Our Care

We bring a wealth of experience, insight, and expertise to autism care, regularly developing our work through research and regular contact with leading professional and academic bodies.

Autism is a lifelong developmental condition characterised by the triad of impairments, where the people we support may have difficulties with, imagination, social communication, and social interaction. They commonly have restricted and repetitive behaviour.

We recognise that some autistic people need little or no practical support. They may require support to increase their social understanding and network of support, while others may need high levels of support from experienced and skilled staff who support the person with the everyday challenges that interaction causes them.

There are many challenges people can encounter, sensory sensitivity to light, noise, touch, balance issues, anxiety, and rituals/narrow interests, fluctuating mood and agitation and aggressive behaviour.

Our experienced team will offer predictability, motivation, understanding of the persons skills and where they struggle to imagine and how this affects their perception of the world.

We work hard to understand what the person we’re supporting is experiencing to develop a comprehensive personalised support plan. Our carers are trained to adopt an approach focusing on an individual’s strengths and develop coping strategies to manage the areas they find the most difficult. Where possible we take steps to encourage community engagement.

Routines are important to people with autism. Each support plan, based on a full assessment, promotes an understanding that every individual will develop at their own pace.
