Your first visit.
You do not need to prepare anything. We are on this journey together.
For a child or teen
- First session: parents or carers
- You come without your young person. We talk about their history and check the fit.
- Then we meet your young person
- Next, your young person meets their clinician. Our rooms follow the Autistic SPACE framework.
- During the session
- Play items, a muscle mat and a Nook couch. There is no right way to be.
- Tracking progress
- Routine outcome measures track the areas you want to focus on. We review them together.
For an adult
- What happens
- We get to know you and what brings you here. Together we set goals that matter to you.
- Tracking progress
- Routine outcome measures track your goals, so we can see what helps and adjust together.
- During the session
- Need a cuppa, some water or a rest break? That is fine. Go at your own pace.
- Online sessions
- You do not need your camera on. It is always your choice.
With your consent, our integrative team meets to talk about your care.
Tracking progress.
We use data to guide your goals, and we look at it together.
- We use short questionnaires, called routine outcome measures.
- You fill them in online, on a secure platform called NovoPsych.
- At the start, we agree the areas you want to focus on.
- Along the way, we look at your charts together.
- The data helps us see what is working, and change what is not.
- For adults, children and teens.
