Integrated Team for Children with Disabilities
Who we are
We are a team of social workers and health professionals who work with children and young people aged 0-18 who have a substantial and permanent disability or medical condition. We are based across two centres, Jubilee Gardens in Droylsden and Rowan House in Hyde.
What we do
Working in partnership with other agencies we help families identify and prioritise their concerns, learn about service options and understand and plan for their child's needs. This process is called assessment and may lead to the provision of services if appropriate.
If services are provided they will be monitored and reviewed by the Lead Professional this is called a coordinated package of care.
What services?
Services are provided in order to support families and avoid whenever possible disruption to family life. Services should seek to minimize the effect of their disabilities and help children to lead lives which are as normal as possible.
Services include:
- Short breaks away from the family either in small residential homes or with approved families
- Day care and after school facilities.
- Domiciliary care.
- Provision of information on parenting, family issues and disability.
- Advice, support and befriending
- A range of therapies relevant to your child's needs
- Early Support
- Portage
How do we work?
The team are committed to child centred philosophy. However, we recognise that each family has it's own unique set of circumstances and the impact of a child's disability will be experienced differently in each case. We work with families on an individual basis concentrating on those times when help is most needed i.e. their early years and transition to and from school.
