Supporting a nonverbal child


For children that are nonverbal, interacting with the outside world can be challenging.

Motor Neurone Disease (MND) covers a wide range of neurological disorders which impact muscle activity and motor skills.

Getting the right support from the very beginning is essential for young children’s development.

A brain injury can have a big impact on a range of functions, depending on how severe it is and which areas are affected.

After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), it can feel like your world has been turned upside down.

Getting access to the right support early on is critical for struggling families.
To support this, multiple agencies have collaborated to work on improving the current system of how families get help.
Ofsted, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) have teamed to conduct joint targeted area inspections (JTAIs).
These inspections are set to begin in November 2022, to ensure that local authorities meet children’s and families’ needs early on.
Why is early intervention important?
Having the right resources and help from the very beginning can avoid families from hitting breaking point.
Whilst there may be support available, a disjointed approach between agencies can leave families at a loss.
As part of the programme, the JTAIs will look into how social care, education, health and the police can work together to recognise and respond to any risks.
Yvette Stanley, Ofsted’s National Director for Regulation and Social Care, commented on the programme:
“Getting the right response at the right time is critical for children and families. All agencies have their part to play in helping children and families early.”
How can we help?
At Almond Children’s Care Services, we recognise that everyone’s circumstances are different.
So, our child-centred approach includes collaboration between family members, social workers, health care professionals, our therapists, and the child.
This bespoke service ensures that the needs of the child are met and that they get the right support that they need to achieve their full potential.
Do you or one of your loved ones need support? Get in touch with us today.

The health and social care sector is still feeling the impact of the pandemic, and the additional strain that winter will bring is raising some alarm bells.

Challenging behaviour is defined by somebody’s actions putting them or those around them at risk, resulting in a lower quality of life.

Someone who has suffered a concussion can be at risk of developing more long-term issues as a result of the injury.
Some of these issues can be very apparent, whilst others can take months or even years to affect the individual.

The term Cerebral Palsy is used to cover several neurological conditions.
