Post-Diagnostic Support Packages

We offer 3 different levels of post-diagnostic support packages for parents whose children have received a diagnosis of an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) from Sphere. These are designed to help you and your child's teachers gain a better understanding of their personal needs and how best to support them going forward.

Our experienced clinicians also offer different Speech and Language Therapy (SaLT) interventions to support children with different communication and speech difficulties which are commonly found in children and young people with Autism Spectrum Disorders and other neurodivergent conditions.  

Bronze Package

A 60-minute follow-up session, with either parents or teachers, with the Psychologist and Speech and Language Therapist from the multi-disciplinary team who assessed your child or young person. This session allows us to discuss what the diagnosis might mean for the child / young person and family in more detail. We will work with you to help you identify and prioritise next steps.

Microsoft Teams: £200

Face-to-face: Price quoted separately according to need and travel time 

Silver Package

Multi-disciplinary follow-up sessions with parents and teachers, conducted by the Psychologist and Speech and Language Therapist to discuss what the diagnosis might mean for the child/young person and family in more detail. We will work with you to help you identify and prioritise next steps. Separate visits with parents and teachers allow for more detailed advice to be provided in each setting. For example, this may include advice around setting up a TEACCH workstation, developing a Communication Friendly Environment, or using Augmentative and Alternative Communication.

Microsoft Teams: £400

Face-to-face: Price quoted separately according to need and travel time 

Gold Package

The Gold package offers a completely bespoke support package that includes the home and school meetings from the Silver package, as well as further cognitive and language assessments and associated report. As this is a bespoke package custom-built around your child and their needs, it will require individual costing depending on assessment and therapy need. We can offer bespoke nursery/school packages for settings who have funding available for further support/training.

Speech and Language Therapy

Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy (PACT)

Hayley, one of our Speech and Language Therapists (SaLTs) is a PACT-trained therapist and is able to offer this programme to families. PACT is an evidence-based intervention which uses video feedback with parents/carers in order to enhance social communication with their young child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder/social communication difficulty.

Intervention takes place over 12 sessions (90 minutes per session). Video is used to help parents/carers recognise and respond to their child’s communication signals, working to enhance their interactions to promote social communication skills within everyday family life.

Please contact us to discuss further.
