Child and Adolescent Learning Disability Service
For families of children with a Learning Disability
We are a multi-disciplinary team who work specifically with families of children with a diagnosis of a Learning Disability (also known as an Intellectual Disability). Our team consists of Clinical Psychologists, Learning Disability Nurses, Graduate Mental Health Workers, an Occupational Therapist, a PBS Practitioner and a Consultant Psychiatrist. A young person may be referred to our service by a health professional or social worker to provide support around emotional well-being or behavioural difficulties related to their developmental condition.
We work across settings (home and school) and liaise with other professionals involved in the care and support of the young person. This includes Paediatricians, Occupational therapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Teachers, Nurses, and other education and social care professionals. We also have links and can signpost to third sector support in the local area.
