Our service

Applewood is a small residential home for adults with learning disabilities, other disabilities and people who are autistic, many of whom have sight loss. 

"I like the garden. It makes me feel happy." Jordan, who lives at Applewood

Our facilities and accommodation

There are four bedrooms, two with en-suite facilities, and a ground floor self-contained garden flat

Applewood also has a large shared lounge, kitchen and conservatory and an accessible garden.

Access to our nearby activity and resource centre, the Bradbury Centre, can be arranged for each person, together with the potential to link up with trained volunteers to enhance interaction and community involvement.

Clinical Assessment and Intervention Team 

We don’t underestimate people. We encourage people with disabilities to challenge what they expect from life, from themselves and from wider society.

Our Clinical Assessment and Intervention Team includes qualified Vision Rehabilitation Workers (sometimes also called 'ROVIs') and Behaviour Consultants with at least a Masters degree in Applied Behaviour Analysis. 

The Vision Rehabilitation workers play a vital role across SeeAbility and keep front and centre, SeeAbility’s commitment to supporting those with sight loss, as well as those with a diagnosis of learning disability or autism.

Where funded, Behaviour Consultants assess each person’s needs by completing a functional assessment, ongoing monitoring, and support. They use this to develop people's person-centred support using a Positive Behaviour Support framework. 

The Clinical Assessment and Intervention Team aim to increase individuals' quality of life, reduce unnecessary restrictions and teach functional skills. This means each person we support gets exactly the right kind of expert attention they need, when they need it, so they can make more choices about what they want from life every day.
