18-25 Deaf Mental Health Assessment Service

It depends on what we are assessing for, but for everyone it will include:

  • Assessing your communication needs and preferences.
  • Meeting for an initial appointment to discuss what is wanted.
  • Getting information from others who know you well, such as family, partner, professionals or previous education professionals.

Depending on your concerns, we can undertake relevant specialist interactive assessments, such as:

  • Autism.
  • ADHD.
  • Language deprivation.
  • Emotional or behavioural difficulties.

We also provide short term intervention sessions where appropriate.

We will then feedback to you:

  • Describing what we have found.
  • Talking through what we think will help.
  • Signposting to other relevant local/regional services.

We can also feedback to the referrer and any other relevant professionals where appropriate.
