Empowering Young People with Learning Difficulties

Our caregivers are equipped with Positive Behaviour Support training, enhancing their ability to assist children and young people effectively. This training provides them with the strategies needed to foster a supportive environment that emphasises best practices in care.

At the heart of our service is a focus on what your child can do rather than their limitations. We create personalised care plans through strength-based assessments and outcomes-based planning to help each young person achieve their potential. We encourage positive development and growth by setting attainable goals and celebrating every achievement, no matter how small.

At Pineshield, we believe in the power of collaboration. We maintain strong partnerships with local authorities, educational teams, and healthcare professionals, including speech and language therapists, schools, and dieticians. These relationships enrich our care plans and ensure that we provide holistic support that covers all aspects of your child's well-being.

We meticulously track and record food and fluid intake and assist with medication, understanding the crucial role of proper nutrition and health management. Our collaboration with educational and health teams extends to meal planning, ensuring that dietary needs are met according to medical recommendations.

Recognising the intense demands placed on families, we offer respite care services that allow parents and caregivers to take well-deserved breaks. This support lets families recharge and spend quality time together, focusing on 'fun things' that enrich their family life.

At Pineshield, we understand that needs evolve. That's why we develop dynamic activity plans in close collaboration with health professionals, families, and the young individuals themselves. These plans are designed to adapt over time, ensuring sustained positive well-being and fulfilment of each child's unique outcomes.
