Each individual has their own complex needs including, but not limited to, visual/hearing impairment, physical and learning disabilities, epilepsy, diabetes and congenital rubella syndrome.We see each person as the individual that they are, and endeavour to provide services that support their interests, aspirations, health needs and wellbeing.
