Learning Disability Support

Tailored, therapeutic support for people with learning disabilities and complex mental health needs.

A Support System That Adapts to the Person

How well do we know the person we are supporting?

Besides a learning disability, the people we serve may have physical or mental health needs or experience their surroundings in a sensory-rich way, in a way that asks for additional support.

Our support begins with assessing the person, getting to know their wants, needs, goals and aspirations. Then we create care plans that directly support these preferences, because these details matter towards the journey of achieving positive outcomes. That way, we are able to develop stabilising, person-centred environments that encourage each person to live a life built on their terms, and that feels meaningful to them.

The Learning Disability Model of Support

Knowing the health and social history and sensory preferences, our clinicians, Learning Disability nurses and therapists work with the supported person, their families, and stakeholders to co-design the support.

We aim to ensure responsive care, including strategies to reduce any potential barriers to community involvement.

Care Journeys That Redefine Support

“Supporting J’s transition was very eye-opening. J was a lovely, caring, and kind individual who always loved to explore.
