We now have a consultant based in the UK who provides oversight and programme development on a six weekly basis to local programmes. This improves the quality of the programmes Autism Partnership provides and increases the level of support our Programme Supervisors receive. Consultation sessions are conducted with the therapy team and parents either at the clinic, in school or at the family home.

We provide case supervision and training to staff that parents recruit. These services include programme development, evaluation and refinement. Our Supervisor meets with parents and staff for fortnightly team meetings and works directly with therapists for a total of 8-12 hours per month. During meetings questions are addressed regarding teaching and general behaviours. These meetings should include the tutors, supervisor, parents and child and consists of discussions concerning treatment progress, brainstorming, programme evaluation and refinement, and continued training for the treatment team including parents. A portion of the session includes an observation of current programmes and direct feedback to the treatment team. This is an essential part of treatment for every child. These sessions are held at the clinic or in the family home.

We are able to offer direct weekly therapy hours provided by a trained staff member of Autism Partnership in London, Leeds, Manchester and other areas in the North of England. This is especially recommended during the first six months of a child's therapy programme. These sessions can take place in the clinic, which provides additional benefits for the child. Please contact us regarding availability of staff.

We provide consultation to assist schools in the education of students with autism, utilizing empirically validated, behaviourally based methods. We emphasize practical, positive, and proactive approaches that have proven to be effective in advancing the educational progress of autistic children. Consultations typically involve developing a plan to facilitate a student’s successful placement in the optimal educational setting. This includes identification of a student’s educational needs and development of a specific intervention and teaching plan to meet these needs. Consultations can be provided for individual students, classrooms or schools. School personnel are provided supervision and training in the process of program development and implementation of behavioural teaching strategies.

We are able to offer group ABA teaching sessions in the clinic setting for children with similar skill and behavioural objectives. Group sessions offer an opportunity to provide instruction on skills such as observational learning, social communication and cooperative play while providing frequent opportunities to practice the skills with peers of the same age group. Additionally, these sessions provide an opportunity to generalise skills learned in the home setting and build skills necessary for pre-school or school settings.


We are currently running 3 social skills groups for children ranging in age from 7 to 13.   These groups are open to children who do not have other services, but would benefit from systematic teaching in the area of social skills in an engaging group format.  We are currently organizing groups for pre-school to Year 1 children to address classroom and social skills.  Please contact us regarding the availability of sessions.

Our staff conduct on-site training workshops for families, therapists and teachers throughout the U.K. and in other countries. These workshops are designed to provide you with the necessary skills to implement a behavioural treatment programme for your child. It is recommended that you videotape the workshop for later reference. Training includes an overview of autism, principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis, a description of the treatment programme for autistic children, a review of research findings, and demonstration of teaching with your child. The emphasis of the workshops, however, is to provide participants with practical experience so that at the conclusion you will be able to understand and use the treatment techniques successfully with your child. During the workshop, each person will have numerous opportunities to practice implementing the teaching programmes under the kind, but watchful, eye of an expert and receive feedback to improve their skills. We will carefully assess the strengths and weaknesses of your child and leave you with a detailed curriculum to follow over the ensuing months. We will be available by phone or email to answer questions and give guidance as your child progresses in treatment. We will return for ongoing follow-up.
In order to get the maximum benefit from the workshop, you will want to first assemble your treatment team. You should invite school personnel and coordinate the workshop to fit their schedule as well as the other therapists. We recommend a three-day workshop for one child. If there is more than one child to be served, or other special needs, additional days may be necessary. 

An office teaching session provides a child a unique opportunity to receive high quality treatment from a senior staff member. A child can be scheduled 1 - 5 sessions per week at our clinic. Parents and staff of children who participate can attend the session at no cost. Openings are based on availability of staff.
