About:
Our range of SEN & therapy support services offer practical solutions,
help & support to families & professionals.
We offer a range of services enabling families caring for children/young
people with complex conditions to get the help they need, ensuring they
get the best from school and home life.
Looking at the bigger picture together with families and the young person’s
workforce, we ensure that support is tailored to enhance positive life
opportunities and choices.

How to access:
We welcome contact from parents/carers and professionals who are
interested in any of our services, as it gives us the opportunity to explain
more about ourselves and to answer any questions that you may have.
In addition to local authority funded services, our services can be purchased
by families, carers, and service users over the age of 18 or their brokers
via a direct payment, individual budget, individual service fund or personal/
private funds. We are also able to work with brokerage services to deliver
tailored packages of support to meet your budget and goals.
