Learning Disabilities
Our view is that disability is not a limitation to an individual to achieve the best outcome in their everyday life.
At Great Prospects Care Services we aim to enable service users to take part in stimulating and meaningful activities whether its something new or its something they already do in their everyday lives such as road awareness training, individual and group cooking sessions, shopping and budgeting, exercise, dance group and healthy living.
We have dedicated support staff to enable service users to participate in social and cultural activities, voluntary work, arts and crafts, swimming, spiritual and religious affairs.
Autism Spectrum Disorder And Asperger Syndrome
Key to our autism services is the need to support and stabilise behaviours that’s challenging through the use of different communication methods to effectively enable service users make a contribution and achieve their personal best.
Within our personalised supported living services, we support service users to enable them spend their time in a purposeful , safe and enjoyable way in a homely environment. We know environment matters in terms of autism spectrum disorder, therefore we make every effort to provide a welcoming, personalised and comfortable home environment ideal for the service users we care for.
Our support services are tailored to individual needs of different service users and may include activities like taking them to enjoy a trip to a theme park, swimming pool, to round the clock care involving indoors sensory oriented activities.
Challenging Behaviour
