Therapeutic Services
Our Therapeutic
Services
Positive behaviour support (PBS) is the framework we use for everything we do. It is values driven, evidence-based and practical.
Focusing on people’s rights provides the ethical compass which guides our approach to working with people. We understand that behaviours that challenge arise from an interaction between a person’s needs and the environment and strive to provide capable support environments which maximise learning. Holistic assessment enables high quality personalised support to achieve outcomes for people which are meaningful. PBS is a compassionate approach to supporting people to have a good quality of life and in doing so, minimises the risk of behaviours of concern.

At Meadow View we have joined Mencap's #OneBigWalk challenge, to walk 1.5 miles every day in September to raise money for them. We're having lots of fun and are excited to complete more miles each day throughout September! #socialcare #fundraising @Mencap
On Friday 30/08/24 at Low Laithes we made some apple crumbles for a dessert time treat using fresh apples from a tree here within the grounds of our service. Everything was homemade by us and tasted even better than they looked 😊 #learningdisability #care #autism
We're having a very productive Summer in the Meadow View allotment. People we support are enjoying the different gardening jobs and growing a wide variety of vegetables to prepare and eat in their homes. #residentialcare #carehomeactivities #growyourown
