Health Boards & Local Authorities

• I offer Post Diagnostic Support in the form of an in depth assessment of the impact of the individual’s autism to bring them to an understanding of this. I design and implement the  relevant interventions identified either with the individual or with the whole family depending on their needs.

• I work collaboratively with medical professionals to address the mental health needs of individuals arising from their autism.

  • • I can carry out Functional Behaviour Analysis of the challenges being experienced within a school or work context in order that an understanding is gained of WHY the behaviour is occurring and then determine HOW to support this. This involves not only assessing the individual but also their environment and the demands on the young person/adult then working collaboratively with the staff team to develop a supportive and meaningful environment for them. This involves visiting the work place or school in order to share the information of how to support the individual and any adjustments that may be required to their environment in order to do this. I model the approaches and interventions recommended to ensure those taking ownership of delivery feel confident in doing so and understand why.
