About The Kent Autistic Trust - 14 High Street
We are part of The Kent Autistic Trust, and from our base in Gillingham we support autistic adults and adults with a learning disability in their own homes across Medway. Autism is not a sideline for us and that focus shapes how we work. Support that is well meant but generic can make life harder for an autistic person rather than easier, so we start from the individual and take the time to understand them properly. That means learning how somebody communicates, particularly at the moments when they are overwhelmed and words are hardest to find. It means understanding sensory needs in detail rather than in outline, and knowing which parts of a week are consistently difficult and what actually helps when a day begins to unravel. We record all of that clearly so that nobody supporting a person is working from guesswork, and we keep the same small team going to the same person, because predictability is not a preference here, it is a need. Our role runs from practical help with cooking, budgeting, appointments and travel through to simply being reliably present at hard times. We work alongside families and health colleagues honestly. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
