Spectrum Connection CIC is a specialist autism service based in Salford (near Manchester), providing evidence-based, respectful, child- and family-focused early support for children under the age of five. Spectrum Connection CIC provides Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy (PACT) for parents or carers of young autistic children, or with complex communication differences, either pre- or post-di
agnosis. We are a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) that exists to benefit autistic children and their families. She ran The Rainbow Project, an Ofsted-rated ‘outstanding’ early intervention service for autistic children, for over three years. Amanda is trained in and is passionate about respectful, child-led methods of intervention, particularly PACT, and the DIR/Floortime model. Amanda has a Masters in Autism in Children from the University of Birmingham (2019). Amanda has written for The National Autistic Society: Network Autism, and has presented at several conferences on the subject of early intervention in autism. PACT is not about changing a child, but about entering their world, gaining a fuller understanding of them, and giving them the best opportunities to communicate to their highest potential. Please see our website for more details about PACT, and our other communication services.
