what we do
We work in partnership with the family/carers to assess need.
We provide advice and support on the implementation of strategies to enable the child to reach their full potential in the following areas: toilet training, sleep programmes, behaviour management, puberty and personal relationships. We use strategies, implement routines and use pictorial aids, visual schedules and social stories to support the child/young person.
The learning disability nurses are linked to the special schools in Solihull and provide advice to children, parent/carers and staff within the school setting.
We are undertaking puberty workshops for young people within the special schools.
