It’s widely known that young people with speech, language and communication needs are more likely to offend and re-offend. At Integrated Treatment Services, we provide a wide range of personalised therapies to improve the prospects of young offenders. We can help boost their self-esteem to enable them to engage with life and plan for the future.

Over 60% of young people in the youth justice system have speech, language and communication needs (SLCN). This is known to lead to low self-esteem, poor educational attainment, difficulties with social integration, early disengagement from school, and most importantly, a higher rate of re-offending.

Integrated Treatment Services can provide a wide range of therapies to improve the prospects of young offenders. Our team of Speech and Language professionals and associated therapists can provide assessment and intervention, which are known to have enormous impact on producing successful outcomes for young offenders.

All of our therapists have an MDT understanding of Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Art therapies and Psychological services, so they can identify the need for MDT input throughout their work with your service users.

Our team can help you in a variety of ways. We can screen all young offenders for SLCN and train your Youth Offending Team to communicate more effectively with young people with SLCN. We can provide interventions to improve SLCN and create more accessible information to ensure that young offenders understand their supervision requirements.

Above all, we can improve the young person’s self-esteem and their ability to engage with the Youth Offending Team. We can give them the skills to grasp the requirements of a statutory order, understand the conditions of that order and attend appointments at pre-arranged times. We can help them read and understand information, take part in activities and programmes and plan for the future.
