The National Autistic Society (NAS) is a cornerstone of support for the autism community in the UK. Their dedication to advocacy, education, and resource provision has created a vital lifeline for countless individuals and families. We wholeheartedly acknowledge and celebrate their profound impact.


A Foundation of Unwavering Support:

The NAS has tirelessly championed the rights and needs of autistic people, shaping public perception and driving legislative change, most notably through their pivotal role in the Autism Act 2009. Their commitment to improving lives is evident in the wealth of information and support they offer, found readily on their website: www.autism.org.uk.


Accreditation: A Testament to Excellence We Share:

The NAS accreditation process sets a gold standard for autism-specific care. We recognise and value this rigorous evaluation, and Raaj’s participation in this scheme demonstrates our shared commitment to delivering exceptional, evidence-based support. This accreditation is a symbol of our dedication to providing the highest quality care for autistic individuals.


A Resource Rich in Information, Including SPELL:

The NAS provides invaluable resources, from detailed information on autism and Asperger's to helplines and support groups. They are a crucial source of knowledge and guidance for the autism community. It is also important to note that the NAS has developed the SPELL framework, which is a key tool used by professionals and families. SPELL stands for:


Structure, Positive approaches, Empathy, Low arousal, and Links. This framework helps create supportive environments for autistic individuals, and underlines the importance of a holistic approach to care.


Why Care Finder Assist Offers Unparalleled Advantage:

While the NAS provides exceptional resources, navigating the complexities of care placement requires a level of personalised, strategic insight that Care Finder Assist delivers uniquely. We understand that every autistic individual’s journey is distinct, demanding a tailored approach that goes beyond general information.

We don’t just find placements; we architect them. We meticulously assess your loved one’s unique needs, ensuring a perfect alignment with care providers who possess the specialised expertise and compassionate understanding required. Our deep knowledge of the care sector, combined with our established network of autism-specialised care homes and supported living schemes, allows us to navigate the placement process with precision and foresight.

A mismatched placement can have devastating consequences. By partnering with Care Finder Assist, you gain a strategic advantage. We:

  • Conduct In-Depth, Tailored Assessments: We delve beyond surface-level needs, uncovering the nuances that ensure a successful placement.

A Partnership for Unwavering Support:

We believe in a collaborative partnership, working in tandem with you and the care provider to create a supportive ecosystem. Our advocacy ensures your loved one’s needs are met with unwavering dedication.


Your Strategic First Step:

Before embarking on a placement search independently through the NAS, we strongly recommend engaging Care Finder Assist. We offer a strategic advantage, streamlining the process, mitigating risks, and ensuring your loved one finds a placement that exceeds expectations. Your peace of mind, and their optimal care, is our paramount objective.
