Children in need

Specialist intervention may be required for children and young people who have a profound and multiple learning disability, who might have difficulties seeing, hearing, speaking, and moving.

Their disabilities will have significantly affected their ability to communicate and be independent compared to children of a similar age without a disability.

They may have complicated health and social care needs due to these or other conditions.

They will need support to help them with some areas of their life, such as eating, washing or personal care.
