Learning Disabilities
People with Learning Disabilities have a significantly reduced ability to understand new or complex information and to learn new skills. They have a reduced ability to cope independently with every day life.
We believe that people with Learning Disabilities, given the right support, can take responsibility and control of their lives. All efforts are made to facilitate independent living and to promote continuous education and personal development as much as their condition permits.
Autistic Spectrum Conditions – ASCs
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with, and relates to other people. It also affects how they make sense of the world around them. They might also present repetitive behaviour and sensory processing difficulties. We support Service Users with ASCs by providing a structured program through their Care/Support Plan, Person Centred Plan and Positive Behaviour Plan.
Asperger’s Syndrome
People with Asperger’s Syndrome are often of an average or above average abilities. They might display repetitive behaviour, restricted interests, difficulties with social interaction and processing language. We support them to explore and fulfil their potential.
Mental Health / Challenging Behaviour
Many people with Learning Disabilities or Autism can also have a Mental Health issue or Behaviours that Challenge including Schizophrenia, Epilepsy, Bipolar Disorder, early dementia and other related condition. We involve other professionals, like Psychiatrist, Psychologist and Behavioural Therapists for diagnostic, treatment and management of the condition.
Our Staff are trained on Managing Challenging Behaviour, identifying triggers to minimise incidents and to work on new skills to replace the challenging behaviour.
