Studio 3 is an independent organisation which provides a range of clinical and coaching services for individuals, families and organisations. Founded in the 1990s, Studio 3 promotes the ideals, philosophies and benefits of positive psychology and Low Arousal Approaches. We are the originators of the Low Arousal Approach, a non-aversive approach to managing distress, which encourages stress reduction and de-escalation, with a focus on the behaviour of supporters. Whilst we specialise in supporting professionals and families to best support individuals with autism, intellectual disabilities and a range of other conditions, we also provide training and coaching in a number of areas including for teachers in educational environments and for residential and foster carers, as well as clinical services such as diagnostic assessments and one-to-one therapy for individuals. At Studio 3, we are strongly anti-restraint and never advocate the use of restrictive practices in care environments. Whilst we sometimes teach gentle physical skills on a case-by-case basis, we will never teach prone or supine restraint holds and do not sanction seclusion of any kind. Our aim is to give people the skills they need to manage distress without situations escalating to crisis levels, subsequently improving environments and developing more positive relationships between supporters and individuals. After receiving training or clinical inputs from our team, individuals report feeling more confident, less stressed, and more positive about their relationships with the individuals they support.
