Sefton ADHD/ASD Children’s Service (post diagnosis)

Alder Hey Hospital Logo

The service is for families requiring advice, support and intervention for children and young people from 0-19 years who have a diagnosis of ADHD/ASD. Initial assessment/reassessment from Specialist Nurses to assist families in understanding the need of their child following diagnosis. If further intervention is identified one of the team will support the child/young person and families with personalised strategies. This might include behaviour management or help to improve the child’s emotional well being.

 

Access criteria: 0-19 years. 

We support Children and  Young People up until the age of 19 years if they have previously accessed the service. New referrals will only be accepted until the Child or Young Person reaches their 18th birthday.

 

The child or young person must have a confirmed diagnosis of ADHD or ASD which has been given by a Paediatrician or Psychiatrist and be registered with a Sefton GP. Parents/carers are required to Opt In to the service once. Children/young people not receiving intervention from the service are discharged and will remain under the care of universal services. Once discharged a new referral is then required.

 

Referral: Referrals are received from Community Paediatricians, Consultant Psychiatrists, CAMHS, School Health, Health Visitors, other Health Professionals, Social Care, Education and Voluntary Sector.

 

Please note: We are not commissioned to support Educational concerns.

Referral forms can be requested by telephoning the service.

Parents/carers can self-refer direct to the service after they have Opted In
