The experienced team works in partnership with families, carers, advocates and public service professionals to ensure that the support provided is proactive and appropriate.

The communication approach enables team members to implement individualised communication strategies for people with severe communication and sensory difficulties. People are supported to make choices and increase their independence using a wide range of communication methods, including intensive interaction, hand-over-hand support, communication aids such as ping pong head switches, eye movements and facial expressions.
