Child and Adolescent Learning Disability Service
CALDS are multi-disciplinary team who work with families of children (aged 5 –17 years) who have a Learning Disability. We work across settings (home and school) and liaise with other professionals in health, social care, and education involved in the care and support of the child or young person. We also have links and can signpost to third-sector support in the local area.
Our multi-disciplinary team includes Learning Disability nurses, Clinical Psychologists, PBS Practitioner, Psychiatrist, Occupational Therapist and Graduate Mental Health Workers. Together we offer a range of services including assessment and intervention, training, consultation, and advice to other agencies.
