At Northern Healthcare we provide supported living for people living with autism. As with all of our support plans, the clinical and support involvement required from the team will vary dependent upon where the individual’s condition sits on the autistic spectrum. The individual may have dual-diagnosis and also be living with a mental health condition or learning disability.

Our support plans are built together with the individual and their support networks, with detailed steps to improve functional capabilities and build skills to enhance their quality of life. Our support planning system allows us to record the little things that really make a difference to someone living with autism such as their likes and dislikes, and which environments they feel most comfortable in.

As part of a multi-disciplinary team, we also partner with a broad range of external professionals, including Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Speech and Language Therapists, Social Workers, Care Managers, Behavioural Nurses and Occupational Therapists.
