Supporting Autism in Ireland
Praxis Care offers a wide range of dedicated support services to people with autism and their families. We understand that Autism affects every individual differently and influences how a person communicates and relates to other people. People with Autism may see, experience and understand the world around them in a different way, therefore it’s important to provide them with the appropriate care and support.
Praxis Care is committed to understanding each individual and the unique complexities which surround their diagnosis in order to provide bespoke accommodation and support personalised to their needs.
Cork Autism Services
Praxis Care is now responsible for Cork Association for Autism services, providing residential, respite, day service and home support services across six locations for 65 adults with autism.
In June 2018, the HSE became the temporary registered provider for CAA under section 64.4 of the Health Act 2007. The purpose of Section 64.4 of the Health Act 2007 is that the Health Service becomes the temporary caretaker of a service whilst identifying an appropriate provider to take over.
Seedlings Social & Therapeutic Horticulture
Seedlings provides social and therapeutic horticulture to people we support, their family members and the wider community at our Crobally and Greenville sites in Cork. Learn more about Seedlings Social & Therapeutic Horticulture.
Services for Children
Praxis Care provides accommodation and support services for children and young people with an intellectual disability and/or autism, providing long term care or short breaks to support families who continue to care for their children at home. We recognise that every young person is unique and we work closely with families understanding their needs and translating that into the support that is right for them.
We have extensive experience working with young people who are making that, often difficult, transition to adulthood. We aim to offer assurance and optimism by designing the support package with the family and young person, Praxis Care staff are dedicated in helping each child reach their full potential developing the skills required to transition into adulthood. Young people are supported to identify and develop their interests and be active citizens in their communities.
We’ve officially opened our new service in Dunboyne! 🎉
Boyne View provides privacy, comfort and accessibility for the people we support, giving them a space where they can truly thrive. As our CEO Carol Breen said at the opening, “This is more than a building – it’s a space for dignity, independence and progress.”
A huge thank you to Minister Norma Foley - TD for officially helping us mark this milestone, to the HSE Day Services Opportunity Officers, the local team in Dunboyne, our property colleagues, families and advocates, and to everyone who attended on the day and celebrated with us.
Here's to more people thriving in Dunboyne and across our communities.
