The Children’s Community Learning Disability Team works with children, young people, and their families and carers to give clear and helpful support that focuses on each child’s needs, and helps them reach their full potential.
We work with families and carers to use simple strategies, set up routines, and use visual guides and social stories to help each child or young person.
We run workshops for parents and carers to help with behaviour, toileting, sleep, and fussy eating. Families can join these by being referred to our team or through one of our link special schools.
The Learning Disability Nurses are linked to the Special Schools in Solihull:
- Merstone School and Pebbles Nursery
- Forest Oak School
- Hazel Oak School
- Reynalds Cross and Green Lane
We provide advice, support and interventions in the following areas:
- Toileting
- Sleep issues
- Puberty
- Personal relationships
- Behaviour management
- Fussy eating
- Personal Hygiene
