The ND service currently provides diagnostic assessments only.
The assessment pathway allows for children and young people to follow differing routes through the process. Some children will have joint appointments where we conclude the assessment the same day. Where this is not possible, there may be another appointment/s with different clinicians, at different times. This is dependent on several factors, for example, other service involvement prior to the assessment, complexity or if you need to meet a specific professional as part of the process, for example a paediatrician. We try to ensure that you do not have to duplicate information.
When we have concluded the assessment, we will feedback the outcome to you and also your child if appropriate. We will also offer an additional feedback session and feedback for school if you would like. You will receive a single page confirmation of diagnosis letter following your appointment and then a full report a few weeks later.
