At Josben Care, we provide support for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a lifelong developmental condition characterised by impairments in imagination, social communication, and social interaction, often accompanied by restricted and repetitive behaviours. These behaviours can serve as coping mechanisms for sensory and emotional overload experienced during interactions with staff and the environment.
We recognise the diverse needs within the autistic community. Some individuals may require minimal practical assistance but benefit from support in enhancing their social understanding and building a network of support. Others may necessitate high levels of support from skilled and experienced staff to navigate everyday challenges related to social interaction.
Our support teams undergo specialised training tailored to the unique needs of each individual and how ASD affects their perception and daily functioning. Challenges individuals with ASD may encounter include sensory sensitivities, anxiety, rituals/narrow interests, fluctuating mood, and agitation.
Our experienced team provides predictability, motivation, and understanding, recognising the individual’s strengths and areas where they may struggle to imagine and communicate effectively. We strive to comprehend the individual’s experiences thoroughly, developing personalised support plans focused on building coping strategies and leveraging their strengths.
Through our person-centered approach, we empower individuals with ASD to manage difficulties and thrive in their daily lives, fostering a supportive environment where they can reach their full potential.
Why choose daily care?
Around-the-clock care allows your loved one to remain in his or her home, while ensuring safety and promoting optimal well-being. In addition, carers offer a much more personalised plan of care with one-to-one support tailored to the status, conditions, preferences, hobbies and lifestyle of the individual.
