This includes working alongside psychology, speech and language therapy, counselling, occupational therapy and other alternative therapies. In short positive partnerships are vital to achieving a consistent person-centred approach to planning and similarly goal setting and supporting children to celebrate their achievements.
Care
Children with complex needs often struggle to communicate with and relate to other people, and to make sense of the world around them.
We support and care for children with emotional, physical, and learning disabilities by providing personalized care and a detailed understanding of a child’s disability or difficulty.
Our complex needs home is in Durham.
We support each child’s learning, understanding and choice-making, enabling each child to develop new skills
