learning disability services
Our Learning Disability services are at the heart of Burton Street Foundation, supporting around 250 clients from across Sheffield.
Guided by our motto, ‘Everyone Has a Part to Play’, our unique Burton Street Approach is rooted in our values of Community, Independence and Wellbeing. We take a holistic view of each individual, developing skills and interests, promoting emotional and physical health, and fostering social connection. Through this approach, we nurture a strong sense of belonging across our Burton Street community.
Our six departments are organised into two categories: Specialist Support for Individuals and Session-Based Support.
children and young people's service (CAYPS)
CAYPS provides a personalised service for children aged 8-18 with additional support needs, offering fun activities while giving families valuable time off. The programme runs during school holidays and on Saturdays during term time, both at Burton Street and within the local community.
Specialist Support for Individuals
complex needs
Complex Needs is a service providing tailored 1-to-1 or 2-to-1 support for people with profound communication, social, or sensory-regulation needs. Built on deep understanding and compassion, the service develops strong relationships while working with families and professionals to provide holistic support.
Specialist Support for Individuals
individual support
Individual Support provides dedicated 1-to-1 support to people take part in group activities and opportunities they may otherwise not have access to. Working closely and intensively with each individual, staff respond to their unique needs while removing barriers to encourage personal growth.
Specialist Support for Individuals
focused support
Focused Support provides responsive, group-based activities for people with significant physical, social or communication needs. Sessions continually evolve, with staff exploring different tools and techniques to unlock engagement and enjoyment. Activities also help clients learn to share space and interact with others.
