About Ivie Lodge
Ivie Lodge provides medium- to long-term care for up to four children with learning disabilities who may also have emotional, social and behavioural difficulties as a result of past trauma. We offer a happy, homely, safe, nurturing and stimulating environment where children feel safe and positive, cared for by a motivated, passionate and committed team. We aim to help children return to their families where possible, or to achieve a permanent placement suited to their long-term needs building the skills to live as independently as possible.
Children and young people with a diagnosis (or emerging diagnosis) of autism, atypical autism, learning disability or global developmental delay, and associated difficulties. Their diagnosis is never what defines them.
Aims and ethos
