Autism spectrum disorder is a condition related to brain development that impacts how a person perceives and socializes with others, causing problems in social interaction and communication. The disorder also includes limited and repetitive patterns of behaviour. The term “spectrum” in autism spectrum disorder refers to the wide range of symptoms and severity.

We are providing different services for Autism Care to control the disorder of Autism Spectrum;

ABA Therapy (Applied Behaviour Analysis)

Step Ahead Care Services provides Applied Behaviour Analysis, the most commonly accepted and effective treatment (ABA). ABA approaches are used to assist people with autism in increasing and maintaining positive behaviours as well as learning new abilities. Our service aims to improve the quality of life for autistic people and their families.

Speech-Language Pathology

Evaluations and ongoing therapy are provided by Step Ahead Care Services to improve communication skills and capacities. Speech therapy focuses on the development of expressive and receptive language. Additional communication modalities, such as sign language, modified gestures, visual communication systems and devices, may be employed during treatment sessions.

Occupational Therapy

Evaluations and continuous therapy are provided by Step Ahead Care Services. Therapists help participants develop self-help, fine-motor, visual-motor, motor planning, neuromuscular, feeding, and oral-motor abilities so that they can become more independent. They may also help youngsters develop developmentally appropriate abilities through proper play.

Physical Therapy

Evaluations and continued therapy are provided by Step Ahead Care Services in order to improve and recover function and mobility. Strength, balance, coordination, mobility, and range-of-motion activities are the emphasis of therapy and home programming. Therapists can also help with bracing and adapted equipment requirements.

What is the best way to care for a person with autism?

Autism is a spectrum condition and as such varies widely between individuals and so too does the support we deliver. In general, it is fair to say that autism, for the people we support, has often been challenging in their lives.

Quality and experience

Our services meet or exceed the standards set by the Care Quality Commission. We also have our own quality standards, What Matters Most, which help us support people in the best possible way. These standards have been developed to cover the things that people have told us are important to them.

We have supported many people to move from residential care or family homes into their own place or a house shared with friends.
