At Together Living, we recognize that every individual on the autism spectrum has unique strengths, challenges, and aspirations. Our highly trained staff are committed to providing tailored, compassionate support that fosters independence, enhances communication, and promotes overall wellbeing.
How We Support Individuals with Autism:
• Specialist Training & Expertise - Our staff are trained in autism-specific practices, including understanding sensory sensitivities, communication differences, and behavior management. This expertise enables us to offer informed, empathetic support that respects each individual’s unique experience.
• Personalised Support Plans - We work closely with each person, their families, and relevant professionals to develop bespoke support plans. These plans address individual needs, establish clear goals, and incorporate strategies that build on personal strengths and interests.
• Effective Communication & Sensory Support - Recognising diverse communication needs, our team uses various tools and techniques—such as visual aids, social stories, and alternative communication methods—to facilitate understanding and expression. We also tailor environments to reduce sensory overload and support comfort.
• Structured Routines & Skill Building - A consistent routine is key to reducing anxiety and building confidence. We assist individuals in developing daily living skills, social interactions, and problem-solving abilities, fostering greater independence in all areas of life.
• Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) - Our approach includes proactive strategies to manage challenging behaviours. By identifying triggers and teaching coping skills, we create a supportive environment where individuals can thrive and express themselves safely.
• Community Engagement & Inclusion - We encourage participation in social, educational, and recreational activities, helping individuals with autism to build meaningful relationships and engage with the broader community. This not only reduces isolation but also enriches life experiences.
• Collaboration & Continuous Learning - Our team continually updates their knowledge and skills through ongoing training and collaboration with autism specialists. This commitment ensures our practices remain responsive to the latest insights and best support techniques.
