Clinical Services works together with parents and families to make a positive difference<br />
despite the challenges that can come with disabilities. We offer specific medical and<br />
clinical services for children, young people, and adults with disabilities from birth<br />
through to adulthood and all through the life cycle.<br />
The overall aim is to develop and maintain the full potential of children and young<br />
people so that they achieve their maximum independence and increased quality of life<br />
and lead a happy and hopeful life.<br />
