What We Do

Understanding Learning Disability Care

Learning disabilities can present unique challenges, but with the right care, individuals can lead happy, independent lives. Our services include: 

  • Daily living support (personal care, meal prep, household tasks)  
  • Social & community engagement (help with outings, hobbies, and friendships)  
  • Behavioural support (positive reinforcement, routine-building)   
  • Communication assistance (Makaton, PECS, and other specialist methods)    
  • Transition support (helping young adults move into independent living)    

Many assume that specialist care is only available in residential settings, but with the proper support, individuals can flourish at home.

  • Cerebral Palsy  - A condition affecting movement and muscle control, caused by early damage to the developing brain. 
  • Global Developmental Delay  – A slower pace of development affecting multiple areas like movement, speech, and cognitive skills in early childhood.
