After an Autism Diagnosis
Following an autism diagnosis, we support individuals and families across eight key areas.
Understanding the diagnosis
Learning about autism spectrum condition and discussing specifics with the evaluating clinician to determine the right level of support.
Support planning
Individualised education plans and therapeutic options, including speech and language therapy for communication and occupational therapy for sensory needs.
Sensory and emotional needs
Identifying sensory triggers and providing access to counselling or therapy for emotional regulation and coping strategies.
Behavioural supports
Positive reinforcement strategies, with training available for parents and carers on supporting behaviour.
Social navigation
Structured social skills groups and peer support networks tailored to the individual's age and circumstances.
Advocacy skills
Teaching self-advocacy, particularly as children mature — expressing needs and understanding rights.
Strengths-based approach
Many individuals with autism have exceptional skills; we encourage developing hobbies and interests that build on these strengths.
Future planning
Support with transitions to adulthood, employment, education and long-term planning.
Effective support is always personalised — we focus on early intervention and personal growth, at your pace.
