Meet the team

At Brookdale Care we understand how unique individuals with ASC are and how they can be disabled by the effects of their autism and co-morbid conditions.   This is why we recruit a specialist staff team including clinicians, therapists and nurses that are all trained and experienced in providing successful outcomes for people across the autistic spectrum.

Here you can meet every member of the senior clinical, therapeutic and management team.  Find out more about them and why they have made their career goal to improve the lives of people with autistic spectrum conditions.
