Youth Action Diversity Trust
YADT Autism Behavioural Support
Autism covers a wide range of conditions or behaviours that can be very challenging for young people and their families. Autism is a lifelong development disorder and can include sensory processing difficulties, communication issues, social interaction issues and different ways of thinking and behaving.
​
Our Behavioural Support Service work with young people and their families (with or without a diagnosis) to understand Autism and help them to develop strategies for a calmer family life.
​
Our Autism Behavioural Support is for young people aged 5 to 17 years and is delivered as one-to-one behaviour support or family support sessions.
​
The one-to-one support service give young people the freedom and safety to explore issues that affect them on a more personal level. After an initial assessment has been made, regular one-to-one support session s will take place. We charge £40 per session for this behavioural support and all our meetings take place at the North Cray Neighbourhood Centre.
​
The family support sessions give families the space and opportunity to discuss and resolve issues affecting them in a non-judgemental environment. Together families can work towards finding common ground and develop strategies to reduce family conflicts. We charge £40 per session for this behavioural support and all meetings take place at the North Cray Neighbourhood Centre which is neutral ground for most families.
