AUTISM+
The Davis Autism Approach programme provides gentle, practical support for autistic children, teenagers, and adults. It helps them develop life and learning skills, understand their thinking style and navigate the neurotypical world at their own pace. These programmes while having a clear end point and creating lasting positive change in the individual also provide for ongoing change and improvement as the individual integrates more effectively with the world.
Who Can Benefit
The suite of programmes are age based and tailored to the needs of:
1. Early years learning
2. Teenagers and adults with a diagnosis who want to develop life and learning skills
3. Non-verbal/non speaking, or minimally verbal children/adults
A Practical, Gentle Approach
These programmes identify skills that may be incomplete or underdeveloped and help clients accept and integrate them into their thinking style. The aim is to respect and acknowledge autistic thinking and to provide the client tools to navigate daily life and learning, more confidently.
Parental Involvement
Parents play a vital role in the success of the programme and thus require support throughout. Support includes:
• Clear guidance and reassurance throughout each stage
• Short, manageable practical exercises to practice at home
• Regular follow-up and advice to build confidence in helping their family member
PROGRAM OUTLINES
Programmes for Young Children
This approach in these programmes called Stepping Stones 1 and 2, focuses on gentle, playful methods suitable for children under 8 and or non-verbal learners. The purpose is to promote individuation and begin the process of socialisation.
Teenagers and Adults
This programme focus on life skills, social strategies, and independence for older clients. Again the approach is practical and relies on understanding rather than learning sets of rules for social integration.
