Options Autism and Learning Difficulties, a division of the Outcomes First Group, provides education and care to children and adults aged 8-65 years with autism, complex needs and learning difficulties.
Its highly trained education, care and therapeutic teams offer a pathway of services and interventions that are tailored to meet the needs and wishes of each individual from the point of admission onwards.
Clinical support is led by the Head of Clinical Services and is delivered by a core team of clinicians and includes Clinical Psychologists, Psychotherapists, Occupational Therapists, and Speech and Language Therapists.
Each service’s designated team reflects the needs of the children, young people or adults that live and learn within the schools and/or homes. Additional support can also be accessed from other specialists within the wider Clinical Team. This enables Options to be responsive to the newly identified, time limited or changing needs of an individual throughout their placement. Offering highly specialised assessment, consultation, reflective practice supervision, and bespoke training, the Clinical Team works directly with education and care staff teams to develop a shared understanding of the skills, resources and practices in place. This ensures that they deliver the highest quality provision which maximises each person’s quality of life and personal achievements.
