1:1 Post Diagnostic Support

The Post-Diagnosis Support programme is a series of 1:1 sessions giving the opportunity for autistic individuals to learn more about their diagnosis, what this may mean for them, and how to access support.

The 1:1 sessions are tailored to the individual covering topics such as social communication, social interaction, social imagination and sensory differences. We focus on future planning and identify strategies that empower the individual to better navigate their world.

The programme consists of approximately eight 1:1 sessions which focuses on different aspects of autism. Our sessions include activities where we support autistic individuals using videos, discussions and explanations. At the end of the programme individuals will receive their own Autism Profile.
