Hi All,
I really hope its OK im posting this in this forum (if its not suitable I apologise!) I am interested in finding out the need/want for a local private (affordable) Autism Support within the area. To aid with all areas of support from one to one therapy sessions, to transitions to school, signing, visual aids..? I am an Autism Specialist working within the NHS and am aware of the struggles parents in the area have obtaining support both PRE and POST diagnosis . I have over 3 years clinical experience working with children with ASD, including 1:1 play therapy sessions working on aiding a child's social and communication skills, assisting and devising visual aids/social stories , working with pre schools/nursery/schools . I have experience with the diagnostic process itself and have contributed to many diagnostic clinics over the years. Along with my clinical experience I have also researched areas of struggle; such as my paper looking at parent experiences of the diagnostic process and also researching into the use of menatolin with children with ASD.
Qualification wise I have a degree in Autistic Spectrum Disorders, a 1st class undergrad degree in Psychology and an NVQ Level 3 in Childcare Learning & Development.
I am curious to see if my services would be something that would be wanted within the area as I am soon to be a mother of 2 and interested in seeing where my qualifications & experience could take me! I am thinking of offering home services/school visits and therapy from my home Please feel free to get in touch and let me know! thank you!
