Specialist
Orientation
Somerset
Court trains the whole staff team to work efficiently with adults
with autism and, as reported in the research by Hatton &
Emerson (1996), specialist orientation homes have a better idea
on support needs and increases resident occupation.
Training
Our training aims to make all staff competent in caring for
and training adults with autism. We also make staff aware of
wider issues - such as food handling, health & safety, first
aid, and fire prevention and evacuation.
30% of our staff are currently enrolled with the N.V.Q. programme.
All staff are trained to use the NAS SPELL framework and are
trained in strategies for crisis intervention and prevention.
Our training team is developing a personal training portfolio
for all staff to aid the development and value of our residents.
