About us

At Autism Direct, we aim to provide a friendly, professional service to parents and families.

We are a team of specialists with extensive experience working with children with autism — in mainstream schools, special schools and units; and from pre-school to further education levels.

Through experience, we have identified that there is often a lack of specific, targeted advice and direction for parents and families — many of whom may be struggling to understand and come to terms with a diagnosis, or suggestion, of their child's autism. We therefore offer practical strategies and tips to assist families in managing their child's difficulties on a day-to-day basis.

Our service is based on assessments and observations made in the home — enabling us to provide advice that is specific to the family environment. Being a private business, our services are chargeable — at rates we consider to be reasonable and competitive within this sector.

Please be clear that we do NOT offer actual diagnoses, which should be sought through medical channels. For more information on seeking a diagnosis, click here.
