Ms Jill McCanney:

Middletown co-ordinators are able to be, on occasion, in the home to support the transition from home to school. They model strategies for the parents and support them in putting those strategies in place. Similarly, in the schools, the co-ordinators can model the supports that can be put in place and build the capacity of the school to provide those supports. It is not just limited to the school and home settings. We also work in respite settings, where appropriate. We also go on community outings. We provide our support and intervention in real-life settings.
