How we work
We have a person centred approach which means that we like to understand as much as possible about the person and their goals, and for the person to have as much autonomy and control in how they live their lives. Working alongside people, together we determine their needs and goals, what is most important to them and how we can make the greatest difference. Our “can-do” attitude means we are flexible, willing and able to find a way to provide the support people require and to help achieve their goals.
We offer four key services:
IRIS Support
Supporting people in their own homes and within their communities, IRIS Support works flexibly alongside people to support them to live at home and participate in the community with as much independence as possible.
IRIS Conductive Education
Early childhood education for children with cerebral palsy and other motor disorders. IRIS Conductive Education works with children and their families to teach children how to develop and maintain skills for living. The programme encourages and motivates children to develop and achieve to their greatest potential, and to live a full, happy and productive life.
IRIS Community Living
Offering 24 hour support in home environments for people with physical or intellectual disabilities. IRIS Community Living works in partnership with people, their families and the local community to help people live a regular life.
IRIS Rehabilitation
Working in partnership with people affected by disability or injury to achieve their personal goals, IRIS Rehabilitation offers an extensive range of group and individual therapies encompassing physiotherapy, occupational therapy, art, drama, sports and mobility.
