Tailor Ed Foundation

Our wish is to see children with autism and their families empowered and included, able to live the lives they want to and access all the day to day experiences that other families take for granted.

Tailor Ed now offers two core services to those with a referral:

- Our gateway service for children with autism in their pre-school year: Early Years Service
- A follow on service for children with autism aged 5 - 16 yrs: Target Specific Service

We also offer social supports which are open to all our families as well as families with a disabled child.

Tailor Ed Foundation has been supporting families with a child with autism in Edinburgh since 2009. Tailor Ed was set up because we saw that there was a gap in services for families who were struggling to support their child to gain the everyday skills that they needed for daily life, skills that people often take for granted – being able to put on your shoes and brush your teeth. Without these skills daily life can be difficult, stressful and isolating for children and their families. Tailor Ed provides services to families to allow these essential skills to develop so family life can run more smoothly.
