Kent Autistic Trust's support services are specific to people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and we aim to: ensure that every person has an up to date, specific, individual and effective person centred plan and that this plan is reviewed regularly and is responsive to their particular needs; ensure that each person gets the right balance of support that they need to be as successful as possible in all areas of their life; provide opportunities that encourage people to grow, take risks and learn the skills they need; to provide value for money services. Our staff receive regular training and we ensure that we are up to date with current knowledge and understanding on the most effective and supportive ways of working with people with ASD. We provide support for people with living skills and vocational skills. For some people we may provide a couple of hours a week support and for others we provide 24 hour support. Some people need help during the day with employment, work placements or other vocational support and we offer this support in the workplace, from their own home or from one of our small local community based resource centres. We also provide living support from the person's own home, one of our flats rented from a Housing Association, single flats in shared accommodation or in a small group environment. The service accepts self-referrals..
