COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR AUTISTIC YOUNGSTERS…

Time Specialist Support is an autism specific support agency. Its director, Tori Houghton, is also the co-founder of AuKids magazine. After issue 50 of AuKids magazine went to print, its founders decided that it should remain available as a free downloadable library. Time Specialist Support now supports website costs.

Time, based in the North West of England and operating in the Greater Manchester region, offers a befriending service where a support worker can accompany a child or young person to access community activities or specialist clubs.

All of Time’s support workers have an enhanced DBS check, plus training in autism and strategies to support autistic people. On top of this training, all new staff carry out at least two trial sessions with more experienced members of the team before they are able to accompany young people in the community by themselves.

Families are either referred to Time Specialist Support through social care, or use Direct Payments to access support directly.
