ASD, or Autism Spectrum Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting social interaction, communication, and behaviour, presenting differently in each individual, often characterised by sensory sensitivities and distinct behavioural patterns.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in post-16 SEND adults presents unique challenges and opportunities. As individuals transition into adulthood, the manifestations of ASD may evolve, impacting social interactions, communication, and daily life. At this stage, BCI adopts a holistic approach to support these individuals positively.

Understanding ASD in Post-16 SEND Adults:

  1. Social Dynamics: ASD can affect social interactions, leading to challenges in forming relationships and understanding social cues.
  2. Communication: Post-16 individuals with ASD might encounter difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication, impacting their expression and understanding of emotions.
  3. Routine and Sensory Sensitivity: Sensory sensitivities and a preference for routines might persist, influencing their daily experiences and responses to stimuli.

BCI’s Approach to ASD:

  1. Tailored Support Programs: BCI offers specialised support programs designed for post-16 SEND adults with ASD, addressing their unique needs and fostering skills for independence.
  2. Inclusive Environment: BCI creates an inclusive atmosphere, accommodating sensory needs and communication preferences, ensuring a comfortable and supportive setting for learning.
  3. Social Skills Development: Through targeted interventions, BCI assists in developing social skills and communication strategies, empowering individuals to navigate social interactions effectively.
