Integrated Disability Service (IDS)
The Service Offer
One contact to our service opens the door to a wide range of specialist teams across Education, Health and Social Care, giving you a service completely tailored to raising standards for pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEN&D).
Benefits
We will support your academy to raise standards and improve outcomes for pupils with SEN&D by complementing and developing the expertise of your staff through our own specialist skills and knowledge delivered through highly trained and qualified professionals.
- We bring together professionals from a broad range of specialisms such as Autism, Complex Needs, Hearing Impairment, Visual Impairment, Physical Disability and Specific Language Disorder to support learners and their families at home, school and in other settings.
- We have an excellent working knowledge of Warwickshire’s systems and processes for children with SEN&D to enable your needs to be effectively and efficiently met through one initial contact.
- We work seamlessly with other SEN services to provide a free service for those children who have a Statement of SEN / Single Education Health & Care Plan in place, as well as those in the process of Statutory Assessment, providing you with crucial continuity of provision.
Why Buy our Serivce
Coordinating individual action plans for learners with additional needs requires the expertise of a wide range of professionals and takes significant time. Without professional support, it can be daunting. Planning for meeting an individual’s specific needs within the context of your school environment maximises the opportunities for development, nurturing a fully inclusive approach.
We will customise our services to meet your requirements and support you to ensure that children and young people with Autism, complex needs, sensory difficulties, physical disabilities or speech and language disorders are ready to learn and staff feel confident to meet their needs.
