You and your family
You and your family are central to our team, without you we have no idea what you like, don't like, how you move, how to get your message across, want you want to control, what you want to learn and what you want to talk about. Every family is special and unique and understanding your journey, needs and goals is what supports us to be successful.
Carers
Carers are crucial to our team. Along with family, carers spend the most time with out clients and understand best an individuals routine, likes and dislikes, responses and wishes. Carers are there for good days and bad days and understand what motivates, cheers, supports and lifts an individual. Carers are essential to maintain and sustain any technology introduced in a persons everyday life.
Educators and Therapists
For an individual to progress their skills teachers, NHS and private therapists are key people to ensure our work is sustainable in the long term. We are keen for other practitioners to view us as an opportunity to fill the gaps in the incredible work they are already doing.
Bright as a Button engages the whole team around the individual to ensure recommendations are practical, easy to set up and with clear options of how to progress to achieve the persons goals. Consider our training packages to get your whole team up to date and on board for the best possible outcome.
