Learning Disabilities & Autism Care

---

At EverKind Services, we understand that no two people are the same. That’s why our care for individuals with learning disabilities and autism is as unique as the people we support. Whether someone needs gentle day-to-day guidance, help with communication or emotional regulation, or more structured routines and specialist care—we’re here to make life easier, safer, and more fulfilling.

Our dedicated carers support children, young people, and adults to live as independently as possible at home and within their local community—building confidence, encouraging choice, and nurturing the skills that matter most to each individual.

How We Support Individuals with Learning Disabilities or Autism

• Person-Centred Care Plans: Tailored to individual strengths, preferences, sensory needs, routines, and communication styles—created with families and professionals for consistent, meaningful support.
• Home & Daily Living Support: From getting ready in the morning to managing meals, medication, and household tasks—we provide flexible help in a way that promotes independence and confidence.
• Communication & Social Support: We use a range of communication approaches (e.g. Makaton, PECS, visual timetables) and support individuals in building relationships, joining groups, or simply enjoying their favourite activities.
• Positive Behaviour Support (PBS): Our team includes trained staff skilled in supporting individuals with behaviours that challenge. We work proactively to understand triggers and develop strategies that reduce anxiety and promote wellbeing.
• Accessing the Community: From swimming and sensory play to walks in Valley Gardens or trips to the market—we support individuals to enjoy and engage with their local area in a way that feels safe and fun.
• Learning & Life Skills Development: Whether it’s cooking, money management, travel training, or personal hygiene—we help build the skills that matter most for daily life and future independence.
