Specialist Support Services
for Complex Needs
With extensive experience supporting both children and adults with complex needs, I provide tailored assessment and intervention to help individuals engage more fully in their daily activities.
I understand that people with learning disabilities may have unique communication needs, and may require extra time and a flexible, person-centred approach— I am committed to offering exactly that.
If you'd like to explore how I can support you or someone you care for, I'm happy to arrange a time to talk and discuss your specific needs, please feel free to request an appointment.
