Autism Service
At Gella Care we support people with Mental Health needs who may also have a dual diagnosis of Autism or a mild Learning Disability. People we support are supported to understand their diagnosis and develop coping strategies to manage their anxieties, which reduce the frequency and severity of challenging behaviours. We understand that everyone is an individual and their needs may vary, but whatever the persons situation or however complex their needs are we will encourage, support and motivate them to achieve their optimum level of independence. Our knowledge and experience over years in supporting people on the spectrum allows us to provide individualised services that enable greater independence and enhanced quality of life. Support given is flexible and designed with you to meet your needs and assist you to achieve your goals. Whether its assistance to help you coordinate your supports or specific individualised intervention to help you better manage a situation, we can help.

Positive Behavioural Support
Our staff have been trained on using positive behavioural support plans (PBS). This is a person-centred approach to people with a learning disability who may be at risk of displaying challenging behaviours. We tailor our support based on the information we have collected about an individual. We construct our intervention from that information.

Different needs carter for different support. Our service will meet your needs whether you require support on a 1:1 basis, and some people have a mix of 1:1 support during some sessions, and 2:1 or 3:1 support during other sessions.
Gella Care Services is about responding to your needs your way. So don’t be afraid to get in touch – let’s have a chat about what you’re looking for!
When we meet an autistic person, we know that by listening to them and their friends and family, we will increase our understanding of how to support them. This helps us build an Autism Profile with each person. We encourage people to gain self-awareness and increased understanding of their Autism. This enables us to provide the support which makes the most of the gifts and skills their Autism can bring, as well as seeking to reduce the difficulties each person will face.
Our aim is to ensure a real sense of wellbeing and self-worth. We encourage and motivate each person to feel good about themselves. We support people to gain confidence and do the things that are important to them and ultimately to lead happy and fulfilled lives. We ensure that each person has a transition plan which includes pre-visits, personal information booklets, photo’s, maps, timetables, social stories and schedules to ensure everyone feels welcome as well as comfortable
