Ireland – Autism

Supporting Autism in Ireland

Praxis Care offers a wide range of dedicated support services to people with autism and their families. We understand that Autism affects every individual differently and influences how a person communicates and relates to other people. People with Autism may see, experience and understand the world around them in a different way, therefore it’s important to provide them with the appropriate care and support.

Praxis Care is committed to understanding each individual and the unique complexities which surround their diagnosis in order to provide bespoke accommodation and support personalised to their needs.

Cork Autism Services

Praxis Care is now responsible for Cork Association for Autism services, providing residential, respite, day service and home support services across six locations for 65 adults with autism.

In June 2018, the HSE became the temporary registered provider for CAA under section 64.4 of the Health Act 2007. The purpose of Section 64.4 of the Health Act 2007 is that the Health Service becomes the temporary caretaker of a service whilst identifying an appropriate provider to take over.

Seedlings Social & Therapeutic Horticulture

Seedlings provides social and therapeutic horticulture to people we support, their family members and the wider community at our Crobally and Greenville sites in Cork. Learn more about Seedlings Social & Therapeutic Horticulture.

Services for Children

Praxis Care provides accommodation and support services for children and young people with an intellectual disability and/or autism, providing long term care or short breaks to support families who continue to care for their children at home. We recognise that every young person is unique and we work closely with families understanding their needs and translating that into the support that is right for them.

We have extensive experience working with young people who are making that, often difficult, transition to adulthood. We aim to offer assurance and optimism by designing the support package with the family and young person, Praxis Care staff are dedicated in helping each child reach their full potential developing the skills required to transition into adulthood. Young people are supported to identify and develop their interests and be active citizens in their communities.

Happy #WorldSmileDay 😊

We’re celebrating by sharing some of the joyful moments across Praxis Care that have brought smiles to the faces of the individuals we support and those who support them.

🎉 Rory from Kimberley House started his first volunteer job in the local community and the staff couldn’t be more proud of his progress!

🌱 Our Seedlings team in Cork won the Innovation Award at our Quality Conference for transforming gardening into a person-centred therapeutic service—such an amazing achievement.

🎨 Volunteers from Danske Bank UK recently gave the office at Banbridge a fresh pink makeover during their team day, which made Service Manager Carly very happy with the warm and welcoming atmosphere it created!

⚽️ Our Mulhuddart Day Service had a fantastic time attending a St Patrick's Athletic FC night game in Dublin, which brought smiles all around.

🥞 Simon from Glenroyd savoured a delicious pancake breakfast before heading to the promenade, where he enjoyed one of his favourite pastimes: taking in the lovely sea views and fresh air.

What’s made you smile recently? Spread the joy & let us know in the comments! 😄✨

Housing compatibility is about more than just a roof over someone’s head—it’s about creating an environment where individuals can truly thrive. 🌟

At this year's Quality Conference, Praxis Care Service Manager, Sinead Gilsenan, will share how matching housing arrangements to individual needs and preferences has led to remarkable improvements in well-being, stability and safety for the people we support. 🏡💙

"By tailoring environments to suit each person, we foster a true sense of belonging and growth—it’s about building a community where everyone can flourish." 🌱
