About Axia
Axia has a vastly experienced Multidisciplinary Team of diagnosticians including Clinical Psychology, Speech and Language Therapy, Mental Health Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Teachers and prestigious trainers, authors and researchers in the field of Autism. Axia’s team has a varied pool of interests, and we are able to use this to engage and connect with those who visit our clinic, for example, our Anime Amigos. Axia has a neurodiverse team and we passionately believe in valuing individual’s interests.
Axia’s model of working is informed by the Partnership Model developed by Professor Hilton Davis and Dr Linda Buchan in the 1980s. This means that parents are viewed as the experts on their children and individuals as experts on themselves. Our task is to share the mutual expertise that is in the room in the spirit of openness, honesty and genuineness. We do not adopt a deficit model in relation to neurodevelopmental difference but rather focus on the strengths that come with neurodiversity as well as some of the challenges.
There is a strong emphasis on teamwork, supervision and CPD.
