Autistic Spectrum Conditions
Castlebeck has over 20 years experience of supporting people on the autistic spectrum with a range of needs and abilities, including those with Asperger's syndrome.
The services provide flexible support for adults with autism and behaviours which challenge, some of whom have learning disabilities, and those who may or may not be detained under the Mental Health Act 1983.
Castlebeck's autism services across the UK offer support and structure to individuals with Asperger's syndrome, high-functioning autism and complex autistic conditions.
Particular attention is given to enable people to maintain high levels of privacy and independence in keeping with their cognitive abilities and adaptive skills.
Our acute services provide appropriate mental health assessment, intervention, and rehabilitation in a structure specific environment. Individually tailored support packages are created to meet the specific needs of the person.
Our programs are supported by clinicians with specialist skills in the assessment and treatment of people with autism. Our multidisciplinary teams include consultant psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, speech and language therapists and occupational therapists.
We offer 24 hour access to autism practitioners and specialist nursing staff. In addition, we have trained support workers who know how best to communicate with people with ASC. The 24/7 coordinators plan, oversee and develop day to day meaningful activities which people want to do; maximizing skills and interests with a balance across self care, work/productivity and leisure.
We offer environmental tuning for the individual with specific regard to sensory needs. This increases interactions with others and enables smooth adaptation between the individual and their surroundings, thus aiding change strategies.
The use of positive programming helps the individual build greater skills which enable social integration.
