Specialist Support Services (Ọrụ Nkwado Pụrụ Iche)

At BoldHeartcare, we recognise that some individuals require a level of care and support that goes beyond the everyday, support that is deeply informed, expertly delivered, and precisely tailored to highly specific and often complex needs. Our Specialist Support Services exist to meet that need, providing a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to care that truly makes a difference in the lives of the individuals we support and the families who love them.

As Nigeria's pioneering specialist care provider, we are proud to offer a range of specialist support services that are informed by international best practice, delivered by experienced professionals, and rooted in a profound respect for the dignity and potential of every individual we work with. Whether an individual is living with autism, navigating a mental health condition, managing a learning disability, or presenting with complex behavioural needs, BoldHeartcare has the expertise, the compassion, and the commitment to provide the right support at the right time.

Autism Spectrum Support
We provide structured, sensitive, and highly personalised support for individuals living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We understand that autism presents differently in every person, and our support reflects that reality. Our trained support workers and specialist staff work closely with each individual to understand their unique communication style, sensory needs, triggers, and strengths. We create consistent, predictable, and nurturing environments that reduce anxiety and promote engagement, empowering individuals with autism to build social skills, develop daily living abilities, and pursue their interests and aspirations with confidence.

Mental Health Support
Living with a mental health condition can be isolating, overwhelming, and deeply challenging, but it does not have to be faced alone. BoldHeartcare provides compassionate, trauma-informed mental health support that prioritises emotional safety, stability, and recovery. Our support workers are trained to recognise and respond to the nuanced needs of individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, psychosis, bipolar disorder, and other mental health conditions. We work collaboratively with mental health professionals, families, and the individuals themselves to build a support structure that promotes wellbeing, resilience, and a meaningful quality of life.

Learning Disabilities Support
At BoldHeartcare, we firmly believe that a learning disability is not a barrier to a rich and fulfilling life. Our specialist support for individuals with learning disabilities is focused on unlocking potential, building skills, and expanding possibilities. We support individuals to develop greater independence in daily living, engage with education and employment opportunities, form meaningful social connections, and participate fully in their communities. Every support plan is built around what the individual can do and what they aspire to achieve, not defined by limitation.

Behavioural Support
We understand that challenging behaviour is often a form of communication, an expression of unmet needs, frustration, or distress. Our behavioural support service takes a positive, evidence-based approach to understanding and addressing complex behaviours. Working closely with the individual, their family, and our specialist team, we conduct thorough behavioural assessments and develop proactive support strategies that reduce the occurrence of challenging behaviour, improve communication, and enhance overall quality of life. Our goal is always to support, never to simply manage.

Psychological Support
Where psychological input is required, BoldHeartcare works with qualified Psychologists to provide structured psychological assessments, therapeutic interventions, and ongoing emotional support. Whether an individual requires cognitive behavioural approaches, trauma-informed therapy, or broader psychological guidance, we ensure access to the right professional expertise, integrated seamlessly into their overall support plan.

Speech and Language Therapy
Effective communication is fundamental to independence, connection, and quality of life. For individuals who experience difficulties with speech, language, or alternative communication, BoldHeartcare provides access to qualified Speech and Language Therapists who assess, diagnose, and deliver targeted therapeutic programmes. We also ensure that our support workers are equipped with the tools and techniques needed to support communication goals in everyday interactions, making therapy a living, breathing part of daily life rather than an isolated appointment.

Occupational Therapy
Our Occupational Therapy service supports individuals to develop, regain, or maintain the practical skills needed for daily living. From personal care routines and household management to workplace adaptations and leisure participation, our Occupational Therapists work with each individual to identify barriers and implement creative, practical solutions. The goal is always greater independence, enabling individuals to engage fully and confidently with every aspect of their lives.

All of our Specialist Support Services are underpinned by a rigorous, person-centred planning process. We begin with a thorough assessment of each individual's needs, strengths, goals, and circumstances. From this, we develop a detailed, collaborative support plan that brings together the right combination of specialist professionals, support workers, and community resources to deliver truly holistic care.

Our specialist services are available across Lagos and Abuja, and are accessible to private individuals and families, government agencies, NGOs, and international organisations. At BoldHeartcare, specialist support is not a luxury, it is a right. And we are here to ensure that every Nigerian who needs it can access it.
