OUTREACH SERVICES
VISIT REQUEST FORM
The Outreach team offers advisory visits to children with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder/Asperger syndrome/autism, to schools, pre-schools and kindergartens. Please note that in certain circumstances where there is no educational placement, this service may take place in another setting – please discuss this with the team. These visits provide the opportunity to discuss issues and strategies with our Outreach staff to assist the child’s inclusion into his/her setting. Issues addressed may include behavioural and educational issues, communication, sensory processing, gross and fine motor skills and activities of daily living. Visits are usually 1.5 hours in duration and consist of observation and discussion time.
Following the visit, a written summary will be forwarded to the child’s family and the educational setting in which the visit took place.
