Research
Janine from Inspirational Therapies has been working along side children, parents, professionals within the local community to evaluate the benefits of Complementary Therapies for children and adults with additional needs since May 2010.
This evaluation project is beneficial because people who have differences or difficulties can sometimes get excluded or left out of important things within their community. This evaluation tries to understand theses differences / difficulties and what can be done to help make things better for people with additional needs or mental health problems.

What is Autism
Autism is a lifelong condition, which affects the way a person thinks, learns and communicates. Its is characterised by a ‘triad of impairments’ – social, interaction, social communication and a inflexibility of thought.
Autism interferes with the ability to effectively contribute and participate as active and valued memebrs of the community, resulting in isolation, often affecting the whole family. If a person becomes alienated, their social, mental and emotional health depletes which could result in increased instability.
It is recognised as a mental disorder, covered by the mental health (Care & Treatment)(Scotland) Act 2003.
