Tailor Ed Foundation (SCO39246) is a charity established in 2008. It was set up to teach daily living skills to children with autism. We work with families living in the city of Edinburgh with a child with autism aged between 3 and 12 years old. We are funded by the Big Lottery, therefore our services are available to families for free. If you would like to make a referral or have any comments, questions or suggestions, please contact us.

Testimonials

The whole family has benefited from the introduction of the food choice board; we all now have a clear strategy we can use for snack times. Rory doesn't ask for food nearly as much as he did previously, which means that we have gained back some control of a situation which was previously causing high stress levels within the family.

He can now tolerate all the sensory issues surrounding a haircut and can sit long enough and benefit from a haircut done in a very supportive, tolerant environment.

This again helps Rory and the whole family cope with everyday living.

Self-help skills are fundamental to every child and this is a service that every child with autism, and every family who cares for them, should be able to access and benefit from.

I was very involved in the process and all of the materials were excellent.

So what has my family gained? A happier, more controlled family life.

It has made an immense difference to everyday living for Rory and our whole family.

We felt very supported in implementing the changes.

We felt very supported and had the opportunity to phone or email if we had any queries.

Rory's older sister also uses the board with him, which enables more interaction between her and her brother.

He has gained a basic understanding of the concept of time by using the sand timers, which are now being incorporated into other areas of his life.
