Every young person at AALPS Midlands is carefully assessed by a dedicated life skills team to ensure that all personal development programmes are individually tailored to their abilities and needs.

These programmes ensure that measurable progress is made in the areas of life, social and communication skills development, self perception and awareness and increasing independence.

At AALPS Midlands we help people with ASD to make sense of and engage with the world they live in by using a variety of tools which alleviate frustration and anxiety and promote learning.

These include:

•  Learning environments that are predictable, structured and calm
•  A focus on low arousal scenarios designed to encourage concentration and effective communication
•  Extensive facilities which promote increased flexibility of thought and self awareness
•  Regular and positive reinforcement to enhance confidence and emotional well being
•  Supported integration into community life which often leads to real work opportunities
