What we do

What we do

Our Teams provide specialised interventions in 4 main ways

Positive Behaviour Support

We teach families and care givers the skills to understand and manage behaviours that challenge.

We use a Positive Behaviour Support approach. We start with small group sessions, then if we think that more help is needed, we may offer further sessions. This will be joint work between one nurse and the care givers and takes place at a set number of clinic appointments.

Emotional Regulation

We help children and young people to regulate their emotions. This is when it is negatively affecting behaviour.

We help when other approaches have been tried but did not work, for example an ELSA programme at school. We do this work 1:1 over a number of sessions, usually at school.

Sexual Safety

Sometimes people are worried about a child or young person’s sexual safety or their lack of knowledge about bodies and growing up. We can offer specialist teaching tailored to suit them.

We help when other methods have been tried, but did not work, for example PHSE work at school. We do this work 1:1 over a number of sessions, usually at school.

Sleep

Sometimes poor sleep is making behaviour more difficult to manage.

We can give advice and support about sleep but we only help with this if care givers have already tried support offered by the KIDS Sleep Service Group sessions.

“ From first meeting the Learning Disability Nurse to now, the difference in my children with their help, support, resources and recommendations is unbelievable. ”

“ I worked well with you, and you worked well with me. ”
