Intervention & Support

INTERVENTION AND SUPPORT

Following diagnosis, we are able to provide intervention and support if this is required.  The available interventions include:

• ​working with the adult and partner/ spouse/ friend to explain diagnosis and implications of the disorder as well as therapeutic interventions available.
• meeting with the family (including siblings) to explain the diagnosis and implications of the disorder,
• working with parents to instigate behavioural changes at home,
• ​working with parents to make suitable choices for school placement and to understand the education system,
• liaise with the school to set goals and provide advice on strategy/resources,
• school staff training - tailored to specific requirements, either covering a basic understanding of the condition and relevant management strategies or more advanced teaching for those familiar with ASD.
• provision of advice and support to local teams to implement child specific programmes,
• communication intervention,
• cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT),
• behavioural interventions as well as: All About Me and Narrative Therapy

ADDITIONAL INTERVENTION AND SUPPORT

Training sessions for school staff typically last 3 hours and are charged at a rate of £450.00.
