This may be with children having special needs, for instance when the child’s family situation is less than satisfactory: or when the child has a disability that the family finds difficult to cope with. They also work with adults, for example with emotionally disturbed people, older people experiencing difficulties or people with medical problems: there are many situations in which they are called upon to assist people.
