Diagnosis Resource Pack
Families have described the experience of their child receiving a neurodiversity diagnosis (e.g. Autism or ADHD) as ‘like a bereavement’ and following the lengthy diagnosis process are left with little information, or understanding of ‘what next’? They told us that a 'one-stop shop' for information, resources and signposting following a diagnosis would be really useful, and they would like this information to be accessible and from a trusted source.
The Diagnosis Support Pack (DSP) has been coproduced by families for families following a diagnosis of a neurodiversity, and contains information, resources and signposting in a variety of media (videos, infographics, animations), split into 14 sections - from sleep to medication, and lots more.
The pack has been co-produced with the help of parents, young people, local Parent Carer Forums, CAMHS, Education Psychology and other key partners.
The DSP covers the following topics:
1. Introduction
2. Positives of Neurodiversities
4. What to expect at your appointment
5. Sleep
6. Medication
9. Mental Heath
10. Supporting Social Communication Development in Autism
11. Best Practice Guide – for professionals
12. Contact Information and Resources
13. Jargon Buster
