- Description
-
Kaleidoscope was set up to help young people and adults on the Autistic Spectrum (including Aspergers Syndrome) to develop skills to manage difficulties associated with their condition. We offer functional and sensory assessments to establish how a person is managing their everyday activities as well as interventions to become more capable and confident.
Kaleidoscope has a focus on helping people to achieve in academia and the workplace. This could be specific skills development, such as becoming more capable of living independently, improving abilities in the community and organising oneself. We also offer support around managing change, social interactions and social skills training.
Kaleidoscope can liaise with Universities or Employers on how to best support a person on the Spectrum. We can offer advice and support around the Equality Act (2010) and potential reasonable adjustments.

Kaleidoscope can support an individual to develop skills to manage the practical, academic and social sides of independent living. This could be specific skills development, such as getting in a routine, learning how to prepare a meal and doing laundry. Support around social interactions, managing change and social skills training (using a National Autistic Society Programme) is also available. Kaleidoscope can help with University preparation, including developing skills as well as Disabled Student Allowance Applications (DSA). We can also liaise with Colleges and Universities around how to best support the person on the spectrum, including use of the Equality Act as appropriate.
