We’re working with local Parent Carer Forums and other groups and organisations to transform support for neurodivergent children and young people in our area.
As the Neurodiversity Programme’s work progresses, waiting lists for autism and ADHD assessment are continuing to grow. This creates a risk of harm for any neurodivergent child or young person whose needs are not being identified and met in a timely way.
In response, we have explored measures that could be implemented quickly, to improve support for children and families while they are waiting for an assessment. One of these is the Portsmouth Neurodiversity Profiling Tool discussed in the video.
