Developing an Intensive Community Support Service for Children & Young People with Learning Disabilities, ASD and Challenging Behaviour

The Authority has £120k funding for 2 years to pilot and evaluate an intensive community service for young people with ASD and LD. The Transforming Care Programme places a clear mandate on local areas to review the support provided to people with learning disabilities and ASD of all ages to enable them to remain in their communities, and avoid long-term placements in residential institutions.
