Ganwick House is an 8-bedded house situated in Barnet, Hertfordshire. This is a specialist home for adults with Low Functioning Autism and challenging behaviour, who require 24 hour staffing support.

Clients at Ganwick House have difficulty with written and verbal communication, staff work with the clients and Speech & Language Therapists to identify which method of communication is most suited to the resident, i.e. menus, how does the resident choose what they would like for breakfast? Do they respond better towards a photo of the cereal or actual 2 bowls placed in front of them? The use of images is being incorporated into resident’s timetables and social stories. Ganwick House staff team enables the residents with Autism to live a fulfilling life, unlock hidden skills and encourage talents.
