Steady, dignified support for children, adolescents, and adults on the autism spectrum
Families navigating autism in Kenya often piece support together themselves — between school, therapy appointments, and daily life. Nyumbani brings trained in-home caregivers who learn your loved one's world, hold steady routines, and give the whole family room to breathe. We work across the lifespan, from young children through adulthood, and alongside your existing therapy team.
Support shaped around the individual, not a template
Every person on the spectrum is different. Our care plans are built around your loved one's communication style, sensory profile, routines, and the goals your family is working toward — not a generic checklist.
Daily Routines & Life Skills
Structured daily schedules, predictable transitions, personal care, meal routines, and life-skills coaching at age-appropriate levels — the kind of consistency that helps regulation hold.
Behavioural & Sensory Support
Trained caregivers who use visual schedules, calm de-escalation, communication scaffolding, and sensory-regulation techniques. We are not licensed therapists — we are skilled implementers of the strategies that work for your loved one.
Family Respite
Scheduled relief care so parents, siblings, and primary carers can rest, work, attend appointments, or simply step away for a few hours without worry. Respite is care for the whole family, not just the person on the spectrum.
Therapy Coordination
We work alongside your existing occupational therapist, speech therapist, or behavioural specialist — implementing their home programme between sessions and reporting back observations to keep the whole team aligned.
Home Environment Setup
Practical adjustments — sensory-friendly lighting, visual cue placement, calm-down spaces, predictable layouts — that make home feel safer and more regulated for someone on the spectrum.
Adult Supported Independence
For adolescents and adults on the spectrum — supported daily living, community integration, employment routines, and the steady scaffolding that protects independence rather than replacing it.
When in-home autism support fits
- Your child is newly diagnosed and the family is figuring out structure, routines, and what daily life can look like
- You have a therapy plan from an OT, speech therapist, or behavioural specialist but no consistent help implementing it between sessions
- The primary carer is exhausted and the family needs reliable, scheduled respite — without strangers cycling through every week
- An adolescent or adult on the spectrum lives at home and needs steady daily-living support that preserves their independence and dignity
- A child struggles with school-day transitions, and you need someone present for the before- and after-school routine
- You're caring across distance — a parent abroad, a sibling working — and you need eyes on the home and clear updates
- You want one consistent caregiver who actually learns your loved one's communication style, triggers, and what calms them
Built on consistency and patience
Family-Led Assessment
We meet with the family — and with your loved one in whatever way works for them — to learn their communication style, sensory profile, routines, triggers, and the goals you're working toward.
Care Plan Built With You
A practical home plan — visit schedule, daily structure, communication approach, sensory supports, and how we'll coordinate with your therapy team — written with you, not handed to you.
One Consistent Caregiver
We match a trained caregiver who fits your family and assign them as the primary. Consistency matters more here than in any other kind of care — familiarity is regulation.
Steady Communication
Daily or weekly updates in whatever channel works for your family — what went well, what was hard, what we observed, and what we'd like to adjust. The therapy team gets the same notes.
What we are — and what we are not
What we are
- Trained, vetted in-home caregivers experienced in supporting individuals on the autism spectrum
- Implementers of the strategies your therapy team prescribes — we hold the routine between sessions
- A steady, calm presence in the home: same person, same approach, every visit
- Respite and breathing room for parents, siblings, and primary carers
What we are not
- Licensed behavioural therapists, ABA providers, occupational therapists, or speech therapists
- A diagnostic service — we don't assess or label, we support
- A substitute for professional therapy — we work alongside it, not in place of it
- A one-size-fits-all programme — every plan is built for the individual in front of us
