SESSAD Dialogue Autisme

What SESSAD Dialogue Autisme does

SESSAD Dialogue Autisme is a French medico-social service (Service d'Education Spéciale et de Soins A Domicile) for children, adolescents, and young adults aged 0–20 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (TSA) residing in the Loir-et-Cher department. Established in 2015 at the initiative of the Dialogue-Autisme family association and managed by GCSMS Autisme France, the service operates from Vineuil in the Centre-Val de Loire region with a regulated capacity of 30 places. It delivers evidence-based, individualized interventions including TEACCH, ABA, PECS, spatial-temporal structuring, and visual supports, following HAS and ANESM good practice recommendations, with professionals intervening in the user's home, school, and community environments.

The service portfolio includes the core SESSAD offering and two extensions: the UEMA Dialogue Autisme (a 7-place preschool unit for children aged 3–6 opened in Blois in 2018) and the 'Passerelles' transition and respite mission launched in 2019. A multidisciplinary team of approximately 9 professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, educators, speech therapists, and occupational therapists, designs individualized educational projects in collaboration with families.

SESSAD Dialogue Autisme is financed primarily through French public health insurance (Sécurité Sociale) and the regional health agency (ARS Centre-Val de Loire) on a per-place basis, with families contributing approximately 30% of the actual cost. Access is gated by MDPH orientation following a formal autism diagnosis. As a non-profit entity within the GCSMS Autisme France cooperative (13 parent associations, 39 establishments, 700+ individuals served nationwide), it operates with no commercial marketing, no equity funding, and no disclosed financial figures.
