Autism Support
Person-centric support that enables autistic people to have an active and meaningful role in their communities through personalised care planning delivered by highly trained care teams.
Back in 2015, 38% of the people who were admitted to mental health hospitals across the UK were autistic. Today, this number has risen sharply, up to 70%.
Developing autism support that delivers proactive and specialist care for people’s safety and well-being brings us closer to our goal of reducing this number and moving people out of hospitals and back into their communities.
The Autism Model of Support
Our short-term and long-term support is carefully designed to reduce sensory overload and create a calm environment. We use structured routines, visual aids, and personalised strategies to support emotional regulation and reduce behaviours of concern.
The care teams are trained in methods like PECS, Makaton, and other visual or assisted communication approaches.

Personalised Care Plans

That Redefine Support
What helps me the most is the trust and the openness. My favourite activity with them (support workers) is to go to the cinema. We used to go 2 times per week and watch different films.
