Service Models for Children with Learning Disabilities: Observational Study

An observational study will assess outcomes across various service models identified in an earlier Stage 1 of research, focusing on children with learning disabilities and challenging behaviors. The evaluation will occur at service referral (or re-referral) and 12-months post-referral, examining outcomes for children, families, and service costs. The study aims to comprehend the experiences of children and families, along with the processes by which services impact their lives, shedding light on community services for children with learning disabilities and challenging behaviors in England.
