Learning Disabilities

· Behaviour Management

LD provision will use a team recruited for their experience in looking after the specific needs of a particular service user and will be led by a Registered Learning Disability Nurse. It is essential the service user is comfortable and confident with the carers, so they will always have an input in this process.The support will often be 1-1 to to enable the them to work towards reducing their behaviour problems by building on their strengths and developing their range of useful skills and abilities. This could be achieved through access to community facilities for
· social,
· recreational
· educational objectives

Support can also be provided in a service user’s own home, either to enable respite for full time carers, to support an existing carer to promote independence and well being in the service user. this could vary from an hour or two a day up to periods of 24 hour care.

Initial assessment, working in conjunction with Community LD nurses, psychology and key workers from other services, will produce a care plan, risk assessments and behaviour/epilepsy management plan as relevant. These are linked to person centred planning and incorporate O’Brien’s five accomplishments
· Choice
· Competency
· Respect/Status
· Community Participation
· Community Presence.

Ongoing care management is provided by the team. The Care Plan is thus reviewed as the demands of the service user change and everybody in an LD team will have have ongoing training and support relevant to these changing needs.

We are here to ensure the maximum opportunity exists for everyone to realise their aspirations.
