Increased children and young people autism assessment capacity in southern Staffordshire
See Midlands Partnership Foundation Trust's update on their Children and Young People's Autism Service in southern Staffordshire . It includes information on:
• increased capacity for autism assessments, via new joint working relationships with Caudwell Children and Psion, in addition to additional recruitment by the NHS Trust themselves.
• The appointment of a new Occupational Therapist, who will be carrying out full OT assessments. This will include understanding the child’s sensory processing needs and the impact on their daily life.
