SERVICE DETAILS
Scottish Autism provides outreach support across Scotland. The level and nature of outreach support varies and depends on the needs and aspirations of the individual. Common to all outreach support is a focus on enabling individuals to achieve goals which are meaningful to them.
We currently deliver this service in the City of Edinburgh for ages 15 - 65.
Support can be provided to access social and leisure activities or liaise with other agencies in relation to training, employment and social welfare support. Outreach support can, for example, include the development of budgeting and independent living skills.
For each person, a personalised support plan will be developed in partnership with their support team. This is reviewed regularly to ensure outcomes are progressed and achieved. Although there is a wide and varied range of potential positive outcomes, through outreach support, the underlying focus is on enabling individuals to achieve goals which are meaningful to them.
University Support..
Scottish Autism Staff can provide one to one support, which can include classroom support, note taking, scribe, creating review notes from lectures and tutorials, laboratory support, field trips and study support. This service is currently offered in Lothian for both students from Scotland and England.
Our outreach support services across Scotland are delivered by dedicated teams of practitioners who receive regular autism-specific training. All of our outreach services are reviewed by the Care Inspectorate and full details of recent inspections can be found on their website: www.careinspectorate.com
