1. Get in touch with tailor ed.
For now, just send us an email to let us know you'd be interested in our service. Once we're up and running, there will be an online referral form you can complete.
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 with your child, understanding their strengths and difficulties, 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 suggestions from the family, and the project worker can also draw 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 parent involvement varying depending on the particular target. 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. Refinements may be made throughout the whole process. During the review, there will also be the opportunity for families to feed back to Tailor Ed Foundation on the service they received.
