The Lawns

Autistic spectrum disorders, Behavioural support, Learning disability, Physical disability

At The Lawns we support ten people with learning disabilities and complex health needs. We can support individuals with epilepsy, autism and physical disabilities and also offer behavioural support.

We aim to meet the identified needs of each individual while promoting and encouraging independence. We offer privacy, respect and dignity and ensure everyone is able to exercise as much choice as possible.

We encourage people to use local facilities and develop relationships with other associations. Some individuals choose to attend art groups and music therapy, which help them to develop their skills. We enable everyone to become involved in the way the service is run using keyworker systems and support them to make decisions, together with carers, families and advocates, where appropriate.

We have a diverse, experienced and knowledgeable staff team who receive specialist training as required.

The service is situated in Exmouth near the seaside. Facilities and public transport are within walking distance and the service has two vehicles.

All bedrooms have en-suite facilities and the service has a sensory room and an enclosed garden. The ground floor is wheelchair accessible and we have equipment to meet the needs of people with a physical disability.
