Supported Housing

Beth84

Hi,

Was wondering if any one had experience of what is/would be a good model of an Autism specific supported housing setup. We are looking at this as a possibility but don't really know what to look for. The hours provided by social care is limited and needs to be used to enable independent living practicalities? This is for an adult mid to late twenties with Asperger's syndrome, who missed the boat re adult services as non existent during this time. In an ideal world, social  understanding and  all its related problems would be an automatic part of education but sadly far from it.

  • Thanks for your response, classic codger. Most helpfull, the one thing we remain unsure of, if there is a need for social skills/understanding training/input does a autism specific supported housing with 24/7 staff have an obligation to provide, or is this something we should provide over and above the social care provided (Direct Payments).
