This is a practical time limited service. We will work with families to identify goals that support them and their child to develop new skills. The service comprises up to seven contacts (either face to face or via a video link).

Focused, individualised support

This service works best when focused on a specific issue or area of development.

For example:

  • Planning for successful transitions
  • Introducing strategies to support social understanding
  • Understanding and managing sensory differences
  • Teaching a new skill or routine


This service is not intended for children with behaviour concerns. Where this is a priority please refer to our Behaviour Support Service.

Where multiple referrals are received for different Explore programmes, Explore will review each referral and then decide which single service fit is best given the information received. We will then proceed with that one referral.
