If my child is prescribed medication, can other assessments and services still be accessed if they start the medication?

Yes, they can. Starting medication does not exclude your child from accessing the other post-diagnostic services that we offer.

For example, the ProblemShared education navigator service could be incredibly beneficial for your situation. This is where a fully qualified teacher and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator (SENCO) will support you and your family with the implementation of any recommendations made from the assessment into your child’s school environment.

As their parent or guardian, you are also eligible to access our psychoeducation sessions. These are an opportunity to process your emotional response to your child's diagnosis in a safe, structured environment. There are 4 weekly 90-minute sessions which allow the opportunity for reflection, discussion and collaboration. The sessions are grouped by age (parents of children aged 7-12 years, and parents of adolescents aged 13-17 years), with 8-10 people per group. They cover a variety of topics and are supplemented with other materials, such as webinars, reading materials and signposting to trusted sources of further information.
