The approach to intervention is holistic, creative and directed by the needs of the individual and those around him or her. The service provides robust information, support and training, especially supporting families pre and post diagnosis. A key factor for the service is to build capacity always looking at ways to work with many, sharing knowledge, skills and understanding of autism. Eligibility: Support for those living with, caring for or working with a child/young person diagnosed with autism, aged up to their 18 th birthday, who live in the Wokingham Borough. 1. All people with autism and their families can access universal services, information and support in relation to the condition of autism, e.g. health and education services for all, post diagnostic information, support groups, autism specific parent programmes and workshops. 2. Some people with autism and their families would like more in depth support to understand and manage autism within their family, school or leisure environment, e.g. support groups, autism specific parent programmes and workshops, autism advice within meetings. 3. A few people with autism and their families will want and/or need focused work and intervention to enable the child/young person to stay living with their family or to enable the child/young person to stay at their current school. So, following assessment, ASSIST will either work directly or alongside others, analyse why there are difficulties, and identify how adults are going to implement a positive outcome. Champions for an autism perspective
