Consultancy

I offer consultancy to Autistic people and families, as well as to organisations who are seeking support and information.

With organisations, this can involve us collaborating to make their environments (schools, nurseries, workplaces, events) more accessible for Autistic people. I also guide organisations around what language to use when discussing the Autistic community and why this is essential.

Additionally, I am open to visiting schools or organisations to provide support and guidance for specific individuals in their service who may be struggling in the environment.

For Autistic people and families, my consultancy can include the following:

Providing information around various topics (sensory needs, communication, masking, burnout, identity)
Collaborating with the individual to determine adjustments and accommodations that could help them in education or the workplace
Attending meetings and appointments, such as with education, employment or other agency meetings
Signposting to reliable professionals or organisations for situations that I can’t offer any support with (therapy, legal advice, medication)
Writing support letters for the person and/or family
Arranging home visits or online calls to offer support

Feedback on my Consultancy:

“Scott closely collaborates with my husband and I to ensure the best outcomes for our son. The PDA language he has equipped us with has been a massive tool in communicating and building stronger bonds with our son. Scott has attended several multi agency meetings with us to help advocate for our son and will continue to do so.”

“Scott was like a breath of fresh air when we met. I felt alone and defeated by the people who were supposed to be helping us. As a family we were broken and Scott actually took time to sit and listen to us and saw how lost we were and assured us he would do everything he could to help us. He helped me with emails, support letters, attended school meetings, listened and gave me advice and guidance.”
