1. Get in touch with tailor ed.
E-mail or phone us and we'll send you what you need to make a referral (contact@tailoredfoundation.co.uk or 0131 624 8970).
2. we'll arrange a time to meet you and your child.
We’ll get in touch to arrange a time for one of our project workers to come and meet you and your child at home. During this time, we’ll discuss the practical skills you would like our help with and talk about the best way to achieve this for your child and your family. We’ll also spend some time getting to know your child, so we can devise the most effective way for us to work together.
3. coming up with a plan.
With a clear goal in mind, the project worker will make a plan to work on the target skill or activity. This will take into account information from your family and relevant services as well as drawing on the range of expertise in our team to come up with a practical strategy, tailored to your child.
4. getting to work
This will mostly take the form of individual work with the child and the project worker, with the level of involvement from you varying throughout the process. In general, the project worker will meet with the family and work with the child on implementing the strategy once a week for about two hours per session. However, this is obviously flexible and will depend on the target. This will continue, with revisions to the target and techniques used if required, until progress is made and the target achieved.
For the target to be truly achieved, the strategies used and skills learnt should be maintained without the involvement of the project worker. And, where possible, the new skill will be used in other settings.
5. feedback.
The success of the strategy will be reviewed in terms of the level to which the target was achieved and the sustainability of the strategy. We'll ask you to give us feedback on your experience of the service, which will help us to develop and improve.
