Support In The Classroom

We support schools to identify where each student’s difficulties lie and to make adjustments to the curriculum to meet the student’s needs. However much support takes place at school, some children’s and Adults with Special needs are more significant and may require additional specialist support

Our specialist resource people work with children and young people both individually and in small groups.
They work as Learning Support Assistants (LSAs), They devise individual plans and work collaboratively with class teachers and other professionals.

What are some of the factors that may increase the difficulties special needs people experience with the school curriculum? And What is special educational support? Those factors may be educational, behavioral, emotional, social or environmental.

The role of our Special Education Support team is to enhance the quality of learning and teaching in relation to special educational provision. Please contact us for a brochure detailing the services we provide in classrooms.

Support In The Community

At Sanatore we believe that every special needs person have equal rights as their counterparts to access the community at will. Although most can feel overwhelmed or intimidated by this big world that accessing the community becomes an uphill battle. Some have some sensory issues that gets in the way of just simply enjoying life.

We are here to help, with our specially trained team  of supporters and carers, we will walk with your loved ones, hold their hands, be their friends and protect them from the insensitivity they may randomly encounter. We will become their companions, go shopping with them, access every aspect of the community with them, at the same time building their self esteem and courage. Our goal is to build them up so that they can stand tall amongst the rest on their own.

Support At Home

Parents vary in the amount of respite care they want. Some use it one day a week, perhaps to simplify shopping. Some use it irregularly while others prefer regular breaks such as one weekend a month. Many families use respite care to allow them a week or fortnight's holiday without their disabled child. Sanatore has formed a team of highly trained and vetted staff who will come to your house to look after your loved one with special needs so you can have that "me time" rest assured that your loved one is in capable hands.

Although you may initially feel guilty at the idea of leaving your child to strangers, don't forget that he will benefit as well. Your child will enjoy the attention and his horizons will be widened by seeing new people and places. He may also enjoy feeling independent from you, especially if he is of an age when he would be doing things on his own if circumstances were different. In any case, he will benefit from his parents being relaxed and refreshed when they return home.

We can perform some light housekeeping if you require us to. The process of hand picking the carer begins with you. It is you who knows your loved one very well and it is you who knows who will make a good companion for them. We only present the carers and you choose. A care plan will be drafted with your full compliance. There will be a one day trial, this will assist you in reaching that final decision of whether or not the carer is ideal. Once the decision is reached, cost will be discussed and service will commence.

Support On The Job

How we support will depend largely on the individual themselves and their abilities. What is the person is currently doing, do they have the qualifications, much like any other employee. Many can be very well educated and have top of the line careers. Often one finds that those jobs tend to be where the individual can work more independently such as science, IT and math.

Don't expect him/her to take nonverbal social cues. You might need to be more direct to help him/her operate socially with others. This is good as long as the directness is coming from a spirit of helpfulness. He/she may also not get others' senses of humour or may take things more literally so do perception checks. Don't be scared to use humour and involve him/her in it- this takes time but it can have great results. Respond directly. We will Support him/her by discussing topics they are interested in (there will be some that they know unbelievable amounts of data about) BUT also  we will cue them when they are talking for too long or not listening to others.

We will  be direct, kind, and encourage others to do the same. When you have something you want them to change or improve, give a very specific list of how to do it and be consistent with prompting him to follow the list. He/she may also need more time with transitions than others- like getting started on a new task or wrapping up a task. Enjoy his/her special quirks and let them figure out their own niche. Also expect his/best best effort -they can give it.

Support For Families

Looking after a loved one with special needs can be very challenging, without any support it can become a case of "I am fed up". We at Sanatore are here to support you and make sure you never get to the point of giving up. We have a phone number on the top of each page that you could call and talk to someone in similar circumstance as you with a good set of listening ears and understanding caring heart. You can also join our carers group, here you will make new friends who have positive encouraging stories to tell you. We also can provide you with well trained carers who will come to your house to keep your loved one company while you get a well deserved rest. There are so many ways we can help you, please contact us for more information. We believe that giving up is not an option.

Your child's special needs produce extra work and stress for you. As a result, more work, more stress or less sleep can bring you to breaking point more easily than if your life was less demanding initially. Everyone has physical and emotional limits - there is no shame in admitting you have reached them. Your low patch may be only temporary. Perhaps you know you will feel better once your period has started, the children have gone back to school or your cold has cleared up. Sometimes, though, there is no relief in sight. From your position of abject misery, the future looks unbearable.

Once you have admitted to yourself that you have reached the end of your tether, try telling your partner (if you have one). You may need to repeat yourself several times before the message sinks in as he or she may be reluctant to face the truth. You could also talk to a close friend or one of the professionals - anyone who is a good listener and likely to be supportive. Talking about your situation can help you sort out your ideas so you can decide what to do next. Remember the situation is unlikely to improve permanently if everything is left as it is.
