Assessment sessions are a compulsory and invaluable part of the service as they are used to establish how best we are able to support you and your child. The non-diagnostic assessment will cover a range of topics including getting to know the young person (including their history), identifying the main concerns and understanding their own and the family goals for any intervention.
Assessment sessions are usually 90 minutes long for under 18s (60 minutes with child and 30 minutes with parents) and 60 minutes if you are 18+. This will be adapted according to the age and needs of the young person and their family.
The outcome of the assessment session is then shared and following the assessment, there will be verbal feedback given on what is thought to be causing the difficulties and what JD Therapeutic Services might be able to do to help. If we conclude this service isn’t the right fit, recommendations will be made for best next steps.
