Clinical Team
ECL is pleased to be able to offer a range of therapeutic services to customers with complex physical, sensory, behavioural, and communication needs through its experienced in-house team of clinicians
Unlike some other providers, ECL employs its own highly skilled clinical team whose role is to deliver first-rate specialist support. From physiotherapy and occupational therapy to positive behavioural support and speech and language therapy, our in-house clinicians are qualified to deliver a whole host of services that can be accessed individually or in combination, with the ultimate aim of increasing independence and enhancing the quality of life of our customers.
On referral, our experienced clinical lead will engage with the most appropriate members of the team and work with you and any other healthcare professionals involved in your care to assess your needs and design a bespoke therapy plan. Staff from ECL’s day services will work alongside our clinicians to deliver that plan and monitor progress, ensuring the support you receive evolves with you.
The clinical team offers a range of therapeutic support to adults attending ECL’s day services. Working closely with staff across our day centres, our clinicians can establish links and forge professional relationships with both customers and third parties to ensure continuity of care and the delivery of appropriate levels of clinical support during your time with us.
Where required, the clinical team can attend customer taster days to assess therapeutic needs, provide risk assessments and create treatment plans, prescribe additional mobility equipment, and support staff with arranging external referrals.
Available support includes:
Speech and Language Therapy to address concerns associated with communication or swallowing, to ensure safe support at mealtimes, to help create positive communication environments, and to deliver person-centred training focused on maintaining inclusivity at day services.
Occupational Therapy to ensure access to hoist equipment, enable safe transfers and facilitate functional assessments to maximise independence and help customers achieve their ambitions.
Physiotherapy services extend to the provision of mobility assessments and equipment recommendations, ensuring customers are able to safely mobilise and to help them identify and achieve their own goals relating to mobility. The team is also able to create bespoke exercise plans to promote physical strength and balance, reducing the risk of falls.
Positive Behavioural Support to encourage greater independence and help customers achieve their functional and social goals. In turn, opening doors to more experiences, allowing people to become active members of their communities.
As with day centres for adults with learning disabilities and autism, the clinical team also offers comprehensive support to those accessing ECL’s inclusive employment service.
While physiotherapy and occupational therapy support are available, the team primarily delivers speech and language and communication advice to help customers connect and communicate effectively within their roles. Positive behaviour support is another key facet of the team’s offer here, ensuring that both customers and employers have all the support they need to be able to overcome any behavioural issues that may limit an individual’s ability to successfully perform the duties required in a prospective role.
Available support includes:
Speech and Language Therapy to address concerns associated with communication or swallowing, to ensure safe support at mealtimes, and to help create positive communication environments within the workplace.
Positive Behavioural Support to encourage greater independence and help customers achieve their functional and social goals. Identifying and putting in place mechanisms to overcome any behavioural concerns, allowing both customers and employers to get the most out of their inclusive employment placements.
Occupational Therapy to ensure access to appropriate equipment, enable safe transfers and facilitate functional assessments to maximise independence and help customers achieve their ambitions.
Physiotherapy services extend to the provision of mobility assessments and equipment recommendations, ensuring customers can safely mobilise and help them identify and achieve their own goals relating to mobility.
The clinical team is able to provide a range of support to customers living with age-related conditions such as dementia, Alzheimer's, reduced cognition and reduced mobility. By offering specialist clinical support, people most at risk of experiencing loneliness and isolation due to age-related conditions can be given the tools they need to enable greater participation in activities within ECL’s day centres and empower them to confidently access the communities in which they live.
