Continence, sleep, and behaviour

We offer inclusive support and consultancy for children, families, schools and professionals.

Welcome to Clear Steps Consultancy

With over 25 years of expertise, we guide families, carers, and professionals in supporting children and young people, with or without diagnoses. We offer proven, research-backed advice, training, and care tailored to individual needs.

Led by a Queen’s Nursing Institute Award winner and Registered Nurse in Learning Disability (RNLD), Community Nurse Specialist (BSc Hons) our experience spans clinics, schools, charities, NHS settings, and family homes. At the heart of everything we do is the well-being of children, young people, and their families.

Step by step support approaches

The individual approaches available incorporate physical health needs, alternative communication, sensory needs, dietetic advice, environment, incentives, and motivators, enabling more than one need to be explored, to truly understand what the underlying need is, what the child or young person is experiencing, the reason for the difficulties and how to help them as an individual, their family and the team of support around them in moving forward and progressing.
