We help children, young people and their families with the challenges of:

- learning difficulties
- problems with toileting or sleeping
- behavioural problems e.g violence, sexualised behaviour

This help involves:
- assessing the needs of the child/young person and their families

Support for parents is an important part of our work in this area. A contribution towards the cost of this service will apply.
