Have a question that we havent answered?
Q: How do you help autistic young adults maintain independence while ensuring their safety and wellbeing?
A: We believe in empowering young adults with autism to maintain control over their daily lives while providing appropriate support. Our approach begins with understanding each person's unique capabilities and aspirations. We then create personalised support plans that build on existing strengths - for example, using visual schedules and familiar routines that give structure while promoting independence. Our experienced team provides just the right level of assistance, whether that's gentle prompting for daily tasks or more hands-on support when needed. We're always nearby to ensure safety, but we step back to allow natural development of life skills and confidence.
Q: What support do you provide to help autistic young adults engage with their local community?
A: Community integration is vital for wellbeing and development. We take a gradual, person-centred approach based on each individual's interests and comfort level. This might begin with short trips to quiet local spaces at less busy times, building up to accessing community facilities, attending social groups like our fun morning activities at our offices or even exploring employment opportunities. Our team helps develop practical skills like travel training and social interaction while providing emotional support. We work closely with local organisations to find inclusive activities and create opportunities for meaningful community participation at a pace that works for each person.
Q: How do you support families and maintain consistent care when different support workers are involved?
A: We understand the importance of consistency in supporting young adults with autism. Our team receives specialist training in autism support and we carefully match support workers to each individual based on their needs, interests and personality. We maintain detailed support plans and use robust communication systems to ensure all team members follow agreed approaches. Regular reviews with families help us adapt support as needed. We also provide guidance to help families maintain consistent approaches across all settings. Additionally, we host regular activity mornings and support groups where families can connect with others in similar situations and share experiences.
