Adult Services
Supporting People to Live Their Best Lives
Individuality – Choice – Empowerment – Independence
We believe every person has the right to be heard, respected and supported in a way that reflects who they are. Our role is not to decide what is best for someone, but to listen, understand and provide the support needed for them to achieve their own goals and live life on their own terms.
Celebrating Individuality
Every person is unique, with their own strengths, interests, communication styles, sensory preferences and life ambitions.
While we specialise in supporting autistic individuals, we proudly support people with a wide range of needs. We recognise that autism is not something to be “fixed”, but a different way of experiencing and interacting with the world.
By understanding each person’s individual needs, we can provide support that is meaningful, respectful and tailored specifically to them.
No two care plans are ever the same.
Promoting Choice and Giving People a Voice
Choice is at the heart of everything we do.
Whether it’s deciding how to spend the day, learning a new skill, accessing the community, or working towards future goals, we ensure individuals are actively involved in decisions about their own lives.
Using person-centred approaches, Active Support and Positive Behaviour Support, we create opportunities for individuals to:
- Express their views and preferences
- Make informed choices
- Build confidence in decision-making
- Increase self-advocacy skills
- Gain greater control over their daily lives
We believe that when people are listened to, valued and empowered, they are more able to flourish.
Community-Based Support
We provide an alternative to traditional day care services through dedicated 1:1 and 2:1 support.
Our support focuses on helping people engage with their communities, develop life skills and enjoy meaningful experiences that reflect their interests and aspirations. This may include:
- Shopping and budgeting
- Using public transport
- Attending appointments
- Accessing leisure activities
- Building social confidence
- Learning about personal safety
- Developing healthy relationships
- Increasing everyday independence
For autistic individuals, we understand the importance of predictability, communication, sensory awareness and emotional regulation. Our team works alongside each person in a way that respects their needs while helping them navigate the world safely and confidently.
Empowerment Through Active Support
Our approach is based on the principles of Active Support, which means supporting people to participate as fully as possible in their own lives.
Rather than doing things for people, we work with them, encouraging engagement, learning and achievement at every opportunity.
This helps individuals:
- Learn new skills
- Build confidence
- Experience success
- Improve wellbeing
- Develop greater independence
Every achievement is celebrated, because every step forward matters.
Positive Behaviour Support
At KTM Care, we view behaviour as communication.
Using Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), we focus on understanding what a person may be communicating through their behaviour and identifying ways to improve their quality of life.
Our approach is proactive, compassionate and respectful. We work to:
- Understand individual needs
- Reduce barriers to participation
- Promote emotional wellbeing
- Increase opportunities for success
- Support positive relationships
- Create safe and supportive environments
By focusing on strengths and understanding the person behind the behaviour, we help individuals thrive in ways that are meaningful to them.
24-Hour Support in Your Own Home
We also provide 24-hour support within an individual’s home, promoting independence whilst ensuring safety and wellbeing.
Support is tailored around the person and their goals, helping them maintain as much independence as possible while receiving the right level of assistance.
We support individuals to:
- Develop daily living skills
- Manage household tasks
- Build routines
- Improve confidence
- Make choices about their lives
- Achieve personal goals
Our aim is always to empower individuals to do as much as they can for themselves, with support available whenever needed.
