Autism Services: Taking Care of Your Loved Ones

At iCare Home Health, we provide a variety of autism services for children in their early years. We understand that autism is a spectrum, and some families will need professional support than others. We’re committed to offering just the right combination of services for children, just as we are for your senior parents. What can you expect from our autism services?

Get Support for Your Routine

Children with autism need their routine, but it can be hard for any modern family to stay to a routine and get everything done that needs to be done. The qualified caregivers at iCare Home Health understands the value of routine for children on the autism spectrum disorder, and we’re ready to step in and support your efforts right away. One of our caregivers, who is chosen specifically for your child, can be at your home exactly when you need them, for as long as you need them, even at the same time your parent receives senior care from us.

Qualified Caregivers

Our autism services team is made up of many qualified caregivers, including nurses and recreation therapists. That means there is no need for them to play catch-up. They will want to know more about your specific child, but they already understand autism and the unique challenges it can present, as well as techniques to modify behavior and encourage your child to grow.

Some children with autism could benefit from having a nurse at home, others need only an hour or so of support from a caregiver with autism experience.

Your Child’s Development

All our autism services are goal-based and tailored to your unique child. Our experienced caregivers will help you and your child set goals around the child’s self-esteem, social skills, communication, behaviour, physical skills, and more. Our caregivers will use age-appropriate play-based activities to focus on any or all these areas when they interact with your child. Your child’s nurse at home or Recreation Therapist can work with your family doctor to keep them up to date on your child’s physical progress.

Prevent Parent Burn-Out

You’re a better parent when you’re well rested and you had some time to take care of own well-being. Finding the right, qualified caregiver for your child can help put your mind at ease while you recuperate or complete the other tasks in your busy life. Also, having support from a professional can make a huge impact in your child’s life, more than you may have been able to do on your own. Our autism services are an investment in your whole family’s health and well being.
