Living with an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) including Asperger Syndrome on a day to day can be very challenging and can vary dramatically between individuals. Hence at Macadamia Support we have created a wide range of pioneering autism services which meets the needs of all the people we support and ensures to enhance the quality of their life.
Macadamia Support aim to develop the skills of the people we support to help them make sense of the world around them and through person-centred care plans, encouraged to achieve their goals and aspirations. For some people this means attending college to access various courses, for others it could be work placements and opportunities fulfilling their short-, medium- and long-term goals.
Our specialist autism services.
From the safe, structured, and homely environments to a staff team with significant experience and expertise, each of our person-centred services, person centred theory and person centred are specifically designed to support people with autism. The specialist services we provide include:
- Supported living and community outreach transition services
- Innovative support programmes in safe and caring environments
- Access to education and employment opportunities
- Progression through a care pathway that fulfils everyone’s maximum potential.
RECEIVING THE RIGHT SUPPORT
All our community-based services are supported by staff teams who have significant expertise in supporting people with autism. Each service has a Specialist Behavioural Interventionist.
We work with multidisciplinary professional teams including GP’s, medical professionals, speech and language therapy teams, dieticians, social workers, chiropodists, opticians, community psychiatric nurses and other specialist roles. This will ensure that we meet individuals needs.
Our specialist approach to autism
We always involve people in deciding how they are supported, as we know that everyone diagnosed with an autistic spectrum disorder has their own individual abilities and preferences. Some individuals for example, may have difficulties with social interaction, whereas others may have impaired language and communication skills.
To help us to better understand a person’s interests, strengths, gifts and their need for support, we will always complete an initial autism profile for someone seeking a Priory Adult Care service. This makes it easier for staff to understand the nuances in an individual’s condition and to identify cognitive abilities that may require focus.
