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.

The group took part in a brilliant dance class with Kelly from Echo Echo Dance Theatre Company and enjoyed getting involved, having fun and making new connections along the way.

A great first day of many to come! 💜

A great day out with a few of the guys from our Banbridge services. 🌲

They walked close to 4 miles around Tollymore Forest Park, taking time to unwind, reconnect with nature and enjoy being out and about together.

From spotting Dippers, Mallards and Cormorants to finishing up with caramel squares and coffee, it was a lovely way to explore one of the area’s hidden gems! ☕✨
