The aim of our homes is to provide a safe and stimulating environment for the children. We care for children with autism, speech and communication differences and a range of complex needs to name a few. The home can support children with a range of additional needs and learning disabilities, including ASD, ADHD, communication differences and associated behavioral and medical needs.
Each child has an individual, tailored personal plan. These will highlight key areas of support for each child, focusing on their sensory, auditory, emotional and physical needs.
Early intervention, problem-solving, social skills, group living, and pro-social modelling form the daily ethos of the homes, which is based on respect, positive reinforcement and positive role modelling.
We see direct intervention with children and young people as having two main areas, firstly to address current issues of risk and harm, and secondly to address underlying vulnerability issues.
