Promoting Independence and Dignity for Adults with Autism
Spread the love

Background: Sarah, a 25-year-old woman with autism and sensory processing challenges, struggled to live independently due to high levels of anxiety and difficulty coping with unfamiliar environments. Her previous living arrangement lacked the personalisation and support needed to help her thrive.

Intervention: Independent Care Solutions provided Sarah with high-quality, personalised accommodation in the West Midlands. Her flat was adapted to her sensory needs, including calming colours and noise-reducing modifications. A holistic approach, developed in collaboration with mental health teams and occupational therapists, ensured her support was tailored to her preferences and goals.

The accommodation adhered to the least restrictive principles, offering Sarah the freedom to manage her daily life while having access to support when needed. Third-party care providers, selected in coordination with local authorities, worked closely with Sarah to develop her life skills, such as meal planning and budgeting.

Impact: Sarah now leads a more independent life. She has gained confidence in managing her daily routine, participates in community activities, and has developed meaningful relationships with her neighbours. ICS’s focus on dignity and choice has enabled Sarah to flourish in a safe, supportive environment that respects her individuality.
