The Society is committed to a person centred approach in all of our services, we have signed the Hampshire Learning Disability Partnership Boards charter for person centred approaches and commitment to person Centred Planning.Our Assessment and Domiciliary Support Service is the Society’s response to the growing understanding and recognition of the diversity needs, of people affected by autism spectrum disorders. We recognise that people need and want specialist support, provided by skilled staff that understand and respond to their specific needs and perceptions, brought into their environments to support their personal fulfilment.
We offer a person centred and flexible and range of services to people within the autistic spectrum this includes:
providing support to people living at home with their families
supporting people in their own accommodation (Supported Living)
supporting people in the work place
supporting people to access education
supporting people to take part in social/leisure activities
The nature and extent of this support will be determined by individual assessment, agreed support plan and agreed funding. If necessary as a "Registered" Domiciliary Service with the Commission for Social Care Inspection, we are able to support people who may on some occasions need personal care.
Referral Anyone can refer themselves or someone on the autistic spectrum to the service, however there needs to be a funding commitment and an assessment of support needs to ensure the service we offer is appropriate. Wherever possible we would involve the person being supported in the recruitment of the member of staff providing support.
