The Neurodevelopmental Service sees children and young people where there are concerns that they might have neuro-developmental conditions like Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and an assessment is indicated. A diagnostic assessment is provided where clinically appropriate and beneficial for the child or family. The team is made up of Clinical Psychologists, Assistant Psychologists, Specialist Nurses, Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists and Family Support Workers.
