Autistic Spectrum disorder is extremely complex as it can affect children or adults of any intellectual ability to any extent e.g. the child may have a severe learning disability, never talk at all and not be remotely interested in communication or they may be extremely bright, learn new things very quickly but just not quite ‘fit in’.
Therapy varies tremendously with the individual needs of the client.
It is vitally important, therefore, that suitably trained and experienced therapists are used for assessment and intervention. Fortunately, this is one of the specialist areas of some of the Small Talk team including the founder and Managing Director. She has worked at a Highly Specialist Level in both mainstream schools and in residential school settings. Parents can be assured that they are getting the best possible service from Small Talk for this client group as any other.
