Spectrum Connection CIC provides early support, (i.e. communication therapy and intervention) to autistic children aged five and under and their parents/carers, primarily in Greater Manchester, and around the world. We provide intervention at the point it is most needed, in early childhood. PACT intervention is an evidence-based developmental intervention that aims to deeply understand an individual child. PACT is a respectful, child-led, relationship-based intervention that aims to develop a child’s communication and interaction skills. It supports parents to develop their skills over the long term, so that a child is receiving many hours of intervention per week that matches their developmental needs. This service has been primarily provided to low-income families through a National Lottery funding grant of £10,000 received in July 2022 at a cost of £90 per session. Thus, much of the money received has paid to our PACT therapist to deliver the intervention to 2 families so far, and to supply supervision sessions, to ensure quality of provision. Further, some of the money has been used to support the smooth running of the intervention through paying for administration costs, insurance, purchasing office equipment, software for creating advertising and information videos, advertising costs for reaching out to parents via external agencies and on social media.The PACT intervention has benefitted the community in terms of the children’s communication and interaction, as well as the wellbeing of the children and their whole family, parents’ confidence and sense of empowerment, and families’ abilities to advocate for themselves and their child. Every parent/carer has filled out a survey before and after intervention, which has been overwhelmingly positive, in terms of their child’s communication and interaction, as well as the wellbeing of the child and their whole family, parents’ confidence and sense of empowerment, and families’ abilities to advocate for themselves. PACT intervention so far has helped parents learn to tailor their interactions to their child’s needs, and look more positively at them. As a result of this, children feel better understood and less overwhelmed, and more willing and able to engage in interaction. Over time, their communication becomes more complex. Children learn that their interests are important, and are allowed to engage in them for longer periods of time, which develops their attentional skills. PACT intervention supports language understanding. All of this demonstrates to children that they are valued and heard, which increases their confidence and ability to get their needs met. They also behave in less challenging ways. Repetitive behaviour is linked to stress and anxiety in autistic children, and stress reduction means that children are more open to learning.
We have monthly meetings of the board of Directors where everyone has their say and issues are discussed.
The remuneration has been reported in the accounts as “Directors’ Salaries” and the payslips have also been submitted. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with theremuneration of directors, or compensation for director’s loss of office, which require to be disclosed.
