My name is Jude Seaward I am a Nurse Consultant/behaviour therapist whose background lies within learning disability nursing. I live in the North West of England in Wigan. I thank my uniqueness to my chosen profession and the initial training I started in 1985. My training covered the wide aspects of what is needed to support a person with a learning disability; covering psychology, occupational therapy, speech and language, mental health, psychiatry to name just a few area.
While working in the NHS I worked in:
An adult residential home for challenging behaviour.
An assessment and treatment centre for mental health and challenging behaviour.
The community, supporting both adults and children working with families, Education, therapists, social services and the voluntary sector to develop packages of care or behaviour management plans of some very challenging people.
This diverse and unique grounding has enabled me to understand how areas interact, which gives a more holistic approach to the way I work. By working in an environment that was highly under resourced you learn to be creative and efficient. So again I can bring this to the work I do now, ensuring new ways of working and innovatively bringing this to suit the individual.
I have specialised in challenging behaviour and autism and have been completing a holistic functional analysis of behaviours for the past 12 years. I worked within the NHS in I am very passionate about providing a quality and an individualised service which enables people to have a happy and fulfilling life.
