What we do

We see children in the Hambleton and Richmondshire area with health and development issues which impact on their education. We provide specialist expertise to the Autism Diagnostic Forum. We carry out health assessments of looked after children as requested by Social Care. These are detailed assessments of the health and wellbeing of children which help ensure their health needs are met while in the care of the Local Authority.

We carry out medical assessments of children with special education needs, as requested by education board. These reports aid decision making about entitlement and provision of resources to meet their needs.
