Sycamore service

The service supports young people with a learning disability and/or autism spectrum disorder who are challenging their school placement to such an extent that it is at risk.

The young person attends Sycamore for a period of time where jointly, staff will access the child's needs and plan and implement strategies which will lead to reintegration back into their school or an alternative setting.

What we can offer

  • intensive support during out of school hours based in the service and out in the community.
  • support is focussed around the individual needs of each child or young person and is aimed at helping them develop life skills and become more independent.

The Sycamore service is delivered in partnership with the City of Edinburgh Council.
