Our fee is £61.07 per day (incl. VAT). We provide a minibus pick-up and drop-off service within Medway for £2 per day. If a client is paying privately, we always consider giving a discount.
We currently support only males from Monday to Friday, owing to safeguarding reasons, but are planning to start a autistic female group on Sundays. We also have a special session on Saturdays for non-verbal autistic individuals with complex needs.
Potential clients are most welcome to come for a pop-in visit with a parent or carer to see what we do first hand. After that, they are entitled to three, free assessment sessions (a parent or carer can accompany them if they wish) for no charge to try us out.
