Northern Ireland – Autism

Supporting Autism in Northern Ireland

Praxis Care offers a wide range of specialist 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. Indeed people with Autism may see, experience and understand the world around them in a different way.

Praxis Care is committed to understanding each individual and the unique complexities which surround their diagnosis in order to provide bespoke accommodation and support tailored to the needs of each individual.

Services for Children

Praxis Care provides accommodation and support services for children and young people with a learning disability and/or autism, providing long term care or short breaks to help families continue to maintain their children at home. We recognise that every young person is unique and we work with families to understand their needs and translate that into support that is right for them.

We also 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 and develop the skills required to transition into adulthood. Young people are supported to identify and develop their interests and be active citizens in their communities.

πŸ‘» Halloween Highlights πŸ‘»

This Halloween, our services pulled out all the spooky stops!

πŸ§›β€β™‚οΈ Swan House & Meenalig threw a fantastic costume party, with everyone dressed to impress in frightening attire.

πŸŽƒ Lurgan DISH got into the Halloween spirit by carving pumpkins and showing off their creative skills.

🌽 Navan Day Service enjoyed a festive day trip to Alright Pumpkin, where they explored a corn maze, took a tractor and trailer ride, and picked pumpkins of their very ownβ€”big thanks to the staff for making it such a memorable day!

πŸ‘» Kimberley House embraced fright night and went on adventure around the neighbourhood to spot the best decorations.

πŸ•ΈοΈ The Hub Drogheda crew transformed the service with spooky skeletons, ghouls, and plenty of spiders for a haunted-house look.

πŸŽ‰ Dunboyne hosted its very own Halloween party, bringing everyone together for festive fun.

πŸ¦‡ Kesh Supported Living wrapped up the celebrations with a ghostly disco.

We hope your Halloween was just as exciting! 😊
