We are committed to supporting people with different abilities such as autism, to live the inclusive, community lives of their choosing rather than the life other's may wish to impose upon them.Our approaches are individual and adapted to each person and family we support. We place huge emphasis on autonomy and respect for the individual and are true advocates for people with different abilities who want to be helped to live independently in community settings whatever complexities and challenges they face in their life.Each project is based on person centered planning, personalisation and good life approaches with ‘behind the scenes' high levels of planning and risk assessment. At a governance level significant involvement from the individual at the center of the project and their family and friends is paramount.Stress and Anxiety is a large factor in the lives of people with different abilities, this is recognized by Studio 3 Kerry and we use a number of stress reduction approaches to support this.Studio 3 Kerry works in partnership with the person at the centre of the service along withTheir familyA dedicated Psychology ServiceThe project CoordinatorProject workersOther Organisations
