Simon and Teresa both need staff who are patient, who won't rush them and who understand their anxieties. They will need a lot of reassurance, especially as this move will be a huge change in their lives, It will be a collaborative process for everyone, getting to know each other and sharing enthusiasms, interests and fun. *Not their real names About us MacIntyre is a national charity which supports over 1,200 people with a learning disability and/or autism.
