About Interactive Development Support

Interactive Development Support is based in North Shields and supports people in their own homes across North Tyneside. We work with older people, adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people living with mental ill health, people with a physical disability and younger adults. A good deal of our work is less about personal care and more about making an ordinary life workable. Getting to college, work or activities. Running a household. Managing money, appointments and the paperwork that piles up. Keeping in touch with family and friends. For many of the people we support, having somebody reliable who turns up and who knows them is what holds a week together. Support is planned around what each person wants to be able to do rather than around risk alone. Where somebody needs a great deal of help, we still look for the parts they can take on, because independence slips away quietly unless it is actively protected. We keep asking whether we are doing more than is wanted, which is an easy habit to fall into. We learn how each person communicates, including those who use little or no speech, and we adapt to them. Predictability, noise and sensory needs all affect how a day goes, and we treat those as part of the support. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch to talk through what we could offer.
