The Disabilities Trust provides a range
of specialist education
services, housing
and support to people with autistic spectrum disorders.
Our services are designed
to meet different individual needs - from small community-based
housing projects to long-term care and support in purpose-built
modern residential centres.
Autism is a complex disability and no two people have the
same needs. Our expert, detailed assessment procedure is designed
to determine the level of support needed by each person, so
that we can tailor our service to meet their needs.
We recognise that people with autistic spectrum disorders
often behave in ways which challenge traditional service provision.
Challenging behaviour is often a way of communicating needs,
frustration, anxiety or pain. Our staff are trained to manage
challenging behaviour by enabling service users to communicate
their needs and feelings, and by using non-threatening interventions.
