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.
