Our activity co-ordinator supports individuals in creating person-centred activity planners and developing daily living skills both inside the home and out in the community. The integrated multi-disciplinary team (MDT) consists of occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, psychology and psychiatry.
Our staff use least restrictive practice approaches and are trained in specialised intervention techniques and sensory integration strategies.
