The Balanced System®
The Balanced System® is an outcomes-based framework and suite of tools and templates that can be used to improve the commissioning and delivery of services for children and young people which benefit from an integrated approach to delivering outcomes.
The model, developed over ten years, is theoretically driven but practically tested. The original framework was devised to provide a practical, holistic solution to the challenge of meeting the needs of children and young people with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN). However, the framework is now being applied to other allied health professions and wider services.
Core elements of the Balanced System®
The core model of The Balanced System® identifies the components of the whole system which need to be in place to effectively deliver good outcomes.
