Our aim is create safe professional, empathic services to those with learning Disabilities. Our approach is client-led which means we work at a level and pace appropriate to each client’s skills and ability, with no hidden agenda or assumed outcomes. We adopt a total communication approach, using Makaton signing, pictures, photos and creative tools to help them express and explore their thoughts and feelings effectively.
Working With LDAt LEAD we have the skills and ability to adapt our communication to a level appropriate to the client and we understand not only, what can cause communication to break down but also what can be done to help to overcome this.
