CAISS may work with you if you have a learning disability, live in Sheffield and if your behaviour challenges your carer and/or the services you use. Some of the people supported by CAISS also have a mental illness.
The CAISS team includes nurses, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists and is lead by a Nurse Consultant.
The main roles of CAISS are
- intensive work with a small number of people
- high quality assessments
- developing effective interventions by working together to understand a person’s difficulties
CAISS works with family carers, services and teams to help them work more effectively with people who have challenging behaviour by providing
- staff training
- workshops
- advice and support
From June 2010 CAISS will be offering Positive Behaviour Support Clinics – these are consultation clinics’ offering advice and support for carers and staff of individuals whose behaviour is challenging. For more details about the clinics, please contact the team.
