Autism Tutor

**What we do**

We as a company want to offer support to all our young learners, by giving them opportunities to learn new skills that will help and support them throughout their life time.

Our young learners need a good start in life and we do this by supporting them with their communication, self help skills, academics and day to day functional skills.

Our aim is for our learners to become more independent by breaking down complex tasks that are most challenging for them such as working on their social skills, making friends and being able to engage in everyday activities at school or nursery.

Each and every one of our learners are different and unique and they all need different levels of support and unique strategies to learn.

With our strategies and techniques we aim to make learning fun, creative and engaging for all our learners. Our goal is to support children with autism by helping them gain a more fulfilling lifestyle whilst supporting their most challenging moments.
