We get to know each family in order that we can tailor our support service to individual needs, wants and choices. Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG)
A helpline is accessible to anyone who needs support or advice, including parents with a child with or without a diagnosis, schools or professionals. The support line is accessible from Monday to Friday from 10am - 2pm and is staffed by the APTCOO family support team. The Bassetlaw Support Line number is: 07395 013 295.
Family Learning Programme (FLP)
APTCOO will be delivering a Family Learning Programme, the aim is to provide early support and evidence-based interventions to families of children and young people displaying behaviour that causes concern or challenges, where there is no formal diagnosis of ASD and/or ADHD, but where behaviours may be indicative or characteristic of these conditions. Post-diagnosis support for these conditions is also provided. SEND Social Prescribing Pathway
The Social Prescribing service will be provided to families in Bassetlaw. Individuals will either be seen face to face in an appropriate setting or virtually via Teams or telephone. The Social Prescriber will triage and signpost parents and carers to access non-clinical support services from Bassetlaw CCG, the Local Authority, voluntary organisations and community groups in the local area. The full range of Voluntary and Community Services available will be explored and matched to the needs of the family, with the view to improving their health and wellbeing.
ASD Sensory Therapies
Sensory processing difficulties can change how a person responds to changes in their own body, the environment and how they interact with it and others around them. They may have difficulties registering or processing sensory input which may result in them seeking out or avoiding particular types of stimuli. These behaviours can have an impact on social interactions, activities of daily living, gross and fine motor skills, cognitive development and the ability to maintain a calm, alert state.
