AIM Sunderland

AIM Sunderland is a post-diagnostic service* for autistic adults (who do not have a learning disability) and live in Sunderland. 


If you are a professional working with someone who could benefit from our services, could we ask that you complete a professional referral form as opposed to encouraging your client self-refer.

*Please see the Referral pages in the navigation bar for referral criteria.


 Our Sunderland flyer is available for download here.

Our visiting guides are available here.

AIM SUNDERLAND

Me, Myself & Autism

 Our psychoeducational course 'Me, Myself & Autism' is a self-awareness course designed specifically for autistic individuals. 

Over eight weekly sessions, we celebrate the unique characteristics of autism and address everyday challenges that autistic people may encounter (the MMA course can only accessed by people who have an autism diagnosis). 

 The MMA course runs for eight weeks. 

At the end of the course we hold an online 'Me, Myself & Autism for Families' session where relatives/friends have an overview of the course content.

Low-level Preventative Support

  Low-Level Preventative Support to assist with communication and promote self-advocacy.


We offer:

Practical support with areas that autistic people may find challenging, enhancing communication and self-advocacy skills, teaching new skills, and boosting confidence. 

Emotional support that actively listens to and validates the experiences of autistic individuals.

 

 The support aims to enhance the quality of life for autistic adults by promoting independence and reducing the need for more intensive interventions. 

SALT and Sensory OT

SALT and Sensory OT

Speech and Language (SALT) – individuals who complete the Me, Myself & Autism course will be offered the opportunity to access a SALT assessment.  

A SALT assessment is a speech and language therapy assessment that evaluates a person's communication abilities and difficulties.

Following the assessment a report is produced.


Sensory Occupational Therapy –  

Assessment, intervention, and advice for individuals with sensory processing challenges.
