Working with Social Care in the UK - Getting The Right Support For Autistic Adults

In this Autism Infocast, you'll learn how autistic people in the UK can access vital social care support. We cover the essential first step: requesting a needs assessment from your local council and what that conversation entails. You'll understand the national eligibility criteria for support, ensuring people receive the care they need. We'll give you insight into the varied types of support available, from daily living assistance to community engagement and employment help. We'll also help you to discover how person-centred planning and personal budgets can empower people to have choice and control over their support, making an independent and fulfilling life an achievable goal.Support the showGet more practical advice, ideas, and knowledge...To browse hundreds of insightful articles, videos, podcasts, books, resources, and courses about Autism and Neurodiversity, all made to help both autistic and non-autistic people alike, visit these links:Read articles on autism and neurodiversityWatch videos to teach yourself and find inspirationListen to podcasts to learn all about autismExplore books on autism, neurodiversity, and careExplore a packed library of autism resources and helpful toolsBook a 1 or 2 hour training course for you, your group, or your organisationSearch the Autism Info Center for ideas, advice and learning materialsCreate a free Autism Hospital Passport to make medical care easier!
