United Response Practice Development

United Response provides a range of support services for adults and young people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health needs and physical disabilities. United Response started developing Active Support in York in 1997 and nationally in 1999 working closely with the Tizard Centre at the University of Kent. This worked created the foundation of the Practice Development Team and our work promoting a range of approaches to best practice over the last twenty five years. 

We have developed training materials and practice development resources for Person Centred Active Support, Person Centred Thinking Tools, Total Communication and Positive Behaviour Support as well as Practice Leadership. 

The team continue to revise our approaches in the light of new research and our own ongoing service evaluation process. In addition to our videos you can keep up to date with our work by signing up for our newsletter at https://www.unitedresponse.org.uk/newsletter/
