Gorilla Plus is an optional addition to any Gorilla Tag programme. It is designed for people in challenging situations who need help, advice and someone to talk to. It is so much easier to cope with challenges when you have an understanding of what is behind the issues. You can be positive and give the right support when you can see the little steps by which progress is being achieved.

The Gorilla Plus service begins with a full questionnaire and discussion of the presenting issues. A developmental report is then prepared which provides an explanation for some of the difficulties and serves as a benchmark against which future progress can be assessed.

Special programmes can be run on request to explore particular difficulties or to explain the developmental issues which are being prioritised on the Gorilla Tag programme. Telephone discussion links the programme reports with observed behaviour to provide an understanding of how the programmes are working and where best to give additional support.
