Individual Therapy

Autism therapy can provide support when everyday life often feels chaotic or strange for people on the autism spectrum. It helps them to better categorise situations, cope more confidently in daily life, become more independent and build social participation in the community. For parents, this can mean noticeable relief because developmental steps become more understandable and the view of what is possible opens up.

One of the greatest challenges is to be able to apply what has been learned outside the protected framework of therapy. That is why we at JuCare understand autism-specific therapy as behavioral therapy and systemic work with a clear focus on the transfer to everyday life and the individual living environment. In this way, individual progress becomes something that is sustainable in real situations and stabilises in the long term.

Therapy in Individual Contact

Therapy takes place both on JuCare’s premises and in the family and other relevant contexts. The timing, content and structure of the sessions are tailored to the individual’s needs. Skills in the areas of empathy, concentration, perception, social behavior and communication are trained in a protected environment.

Therapy goals and methods are constantly reviewed as part of an initial and follow-up diagnosis and adapted to current circumstances.

Learning from each Other

It can be useful, after consultation with all those involved, to combine individual therapy sessions in order to try out what has been learned in a group setting and then reflect on it with the therapist.

This is the only way to consolidate and try out what has been learned in an important social space. Again and again, children and young people come together in this way and maintain contact in their private lives.

Steps to a Therapy Place

Your child has been diagnosed with autism.

You make a request for autism therapy via our contact form.

Careful completion of required documents

You will receive documents from us, which you fill out and return with a copy of the diagnosis.

After returning the documents, your child will be placed on the waiting list.

You submit an application to the relevant funding body (youth welfare office, social welfare office or LVR) to check whether the costs of autism therapy will be covered.

In order to continue, we need a short informal response from the funding body or written approval of the assumption of costs for autism therapy.

If you require a therapy plan for approval, please send a short e-mail to our administration department so that a cost estimate can be sent.

We can offer you a therapy place for your child depending on availability and current capacities.

Involving the whole Family in Therapeutic Help

Parents are often irritated and helpless when their child does not react as expected. Parallel to the therapy, the mother and father are familiarised with autistic behaviours so that they can better understand why physical contact may be rejected or tense situations arise.

The aim is to give parents confidence in dealing with their child and to provide autism-specific explanations and methods to support and encourage the child in the best possible way. Siblings are also actively involved in the therapeutic process and have the opportunity to be informed about the special characteristics of their sibling and have unanswered questions answered at their own appointments.

This understanding helps to strengthen family relationships and resources. In addition, sibling workshops offer the opportunity to deal with one’s own situation and needs and to share experiences as a group.

Institutional Consulting

In addition to individual therapy and parent counseling, consultations are also carried out with kindergartens, schools, training centers and employers. For this purpose, observations, joint discussions or systematic observations are carried out with regard to current action-guiding issues in order to check the implementation of what has been learned, to derive further therapy goals or to be able to discuss framework conditions on site.

Because it is not only the person with autism who has to adapt, their environment must also provide a suitable framework for them to develop and make the world around them compatible in an autistic way.
